Is it me or does Hardy run like a pig?

Hello,

Nice to know more. I'm pretty familiar with what and how python is. I just
wanted to say that many mostly new and young programmers do not have the
understanding of what has been done on memory or cpu level.
It seems you do which helps you I guess also write a good code in python
too.
As I'm doing mostly linguistic stuff (text manipulation) I prefer
programming in perl. I also learned perl when python was only in the
imagination of some people, but when it comes to speed and size I have to
code c or c++.

I agree that python has many advantages and the coding is made nice and
easy. The last company where I've been working did serious programming in
python and turned it into C code, so this is another advantage of python.

What I wanted to say - making it easy, compared with not understanding
completely well what you are doing leads to causing only troubles.
