Downsides of using extensions
To be honest, I started my adventure with Python only because I was tired of all the difficulty of writing software in C and C++. In fact, it is very common that programmers start to learn Python when they realize that other languages do not deliver what their users need.
Programming in Python, when compared to C, C++, or Java, is a breeze. Everything seems to be simple and well designed. You might think that there are no places where you can trip over and there are no other programming languages required anymore.
And of course, nothing could be more wrong. Yes, Python is an amazing language with a lot of cool features, and it is used in many fields. But it doesn't mean that it is perfect and doesn't have any downsides. It is easy to understand and write, but this easiness comes with a price. It is not as slow as many people think but will never be as fast as C. It is highly portable, but its interpreter is not available on as many...
