Pypy, which, when complete, should out-perform the current Python interpreter significantly.Personally, I wouldn't be so quick to blame Python for bottlenecks and the like. NVDA is written in Python, and in my (albeit limited) experience, it performs very well.
I could very well be wrong, I've never spent time looking at python on windows, but I believe it is usually compiled with py2exe? Which would explain what is happening.
Another language which looks interesting is Go, from Google: <http://golang.org/>. Its creators were formerly employed by Bell Labs. My memory is failing me tonight, and I can't find their names on the page. Anyhow, they're famous. Ken Thompson and Rob Pike, perhaps.
correct.
Go is a high-level systems programming language. It has all the nicities, like automatic memory management, and it compiles to native code.
yes, if they can get GCing to work it may well be nice. Trev
My concern regarding C and C++ is the risk of segmentation faults due to pointer and memory management bugs, which seem to creep into C/C++ software despite everybody's best efforts, especially with multi-threaded systems.Seconded! It's just too easy to write C / C++ code containing nasty bugs. I've seen too many of them. -- Chris
