> fast (much faster than Python)

Wait... when did we get to the point where things that were faster than Python were deemed "fast"?!

And of course, "fast" isn't the right term for embedded systems. The right term is "efficient". In embedded terms, Java barely qualifies as passable, let alone Python.

Yup, and by fast in embedded people usually mean real time. Latency is far more important than bandwidth in that context.
