> X is faster than python for Y

I feel that this statement is true for most values of X and Y. I've yet to find a mainstream language that's slower than python, or a task at which python is truly the most performant.

Except even that's not true, if you consider that, canonically, "python" means CPython -- and PyPy is faster!
