Or Kotlin if you don't like Python 3

Too JS-like

literally worse than even js
Python 3 is one of them

Many flaws of the JS are still there for compatibility reasons.

The efficiency should be measured on real workload, and if the slowdown is measured in fractions of a percent, then it's obviously not worth dropping the benefit of using "easier" language.
For many tasks they will be actually efficient.
And even for some number crunching tasks: a typical example is github.com/magicgoose/simple_dr_meter/issues/4
Not sure if ffmpeg guys catched up yet (I need to ask the author to test again or do it myself), but a piece of python code which calculates the same thing was consistently faster when compared to ffmpeg, which is written in C and was compiled with full optimizations. It would not be possible if what you said was true, right?

Because said Python is neither POSIX scripting nor a programming language, it was saying Python wasn't a programming language. The rest of the subthread was about that claim.

I meant efficiency in the simplest sense - efficient use of memory and CPU time. I agree that that's not a useful metric to decide whether the language is appropriate to use for a task.
Your example is cheating by using numpy. There's nothing wrong with that, of course - I love numpy - but it doesn't tell you much about the speed of Python because it's really just Python wrapped around C, C++ and FORTRAN.
A better example would be an I/O-bound program. youtube-dl isn't going to get much faster whatever language you write it in, because it spends most of its time waiting for data to arrive.
Most code I write is Python.

Kotlin, Swift, Go, Flutter, Java, C# or Objective C.
Or on a more serious note, Python 3/4 or Perl 5/6.

Underrated post. Fucking money worshipping jews screw us once again

Nobody actually believes that soibois write code.

Why not purescript then user? It works on the front and backend.
