Re:Making Python Programs Blazingly Fast by yesenadam on Sunday January 05, 2020 @07:09AM (#21960927)
TFA says "up to 30% faster!" i.e. not really enough to "prove [Python haters] wrong". I like Python, but program much more in Cython, because it's often tens or hundreds of times as fast.

p.s. Bruce Dawson's advice is that

You should never describe something as being a “90% improvement” or “90% better” – these phrases are meaningless. Instead, embrace the big and accurate 10-times as fast number. It’s 10 times better!
