> JS running on a modern engine like V8 are easily 10x faster than CPython which PyQt uses. Citation needed. As I've said numerous times before, saying one language is faster than another is pointless. You have to give a full context around it. What particular scenario is CPython slower than V8? While it's true that a pure CPython tight loop will be slower than one in V8, I have a hard time imagining that being the bottleneck of desktop applications. |

Never thought about it this way but you're right. I could very well write an interpreter for C that's slow as molasses and I'd be willing to be that no one will try it and say "C is slow."
It doesn't seem like languages that are already interpreted get that courtesy, though. V8 isn't the only JS engine, after all.
