Just a few thoughts

  • every language is not "fast enough" if compared to c/c++
  • python wasn't built to work my mobile application so using this as a argument to invalidate python is not fair.
  • The runtime errors are a draw back for rapid development, "you can be quick but you cannot be always right"

About the database access: agree hahahahaha

I don’t think the aim was to invalidate python but rather explain use cases where it doesn’t fit. So you both agree, it wasn’t designed for mobile development.
