>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.


yea, it's certainly impossible and no one is capable of knowing what they're doing. eyeroll


I wouldn't say it's impossible but certainly much harder than Python.
