>Whatever can be done in C in this case can be done with Python

This mindset is why, in a future not far away from now, we will have 20GHz 512-core IoT widgets with 8TB of RAM that still take 4 seconds to turn the lights on.

Isn't that just basic radio engineering? What does C have to do with radios?

Wait, do you even realise how much slower and more resource-intensive Python is than a compiled language like C?

Really? Oh wow, I did not know that. I thought all languages with recursion and loops were Turing complete. Are you saying there is some kind of difference between C and Python as far as what programs can be written in them or is this something else?

I can’t tell if you’re joking. Python uses tons of memory and is generally low performance. It can do everything c can but slower

This is good to know.
