> Anything that has to do with the python interpreter, JIT, garbage collection and reference counting becomes NEGLIGIBLE

Well, it's odd that you say that, when previously you were claiming that the result was caused by Python. Is it caused by Python, or is Python negligible?

> You can use relativity rather then newtonian physics to calculate the trajectory of a projectile BUT it is involves UNNECESSARY overhead coming from Relativity because the accuracy gained from the extra calculations ARE NEGLIGIBLE.

Man, you sure are willing to make broad statements that you cannot possibly know.

You're really sure that there's no context where the accuracy gained by relativity would be useful?

Again, this is you making stuff up. The worst part here is that a basic application of logic, which you claim to have such a firm grasp on that you don't need evidence, would indicate that you cannot possibly know the things you are claiming to know. You really think you know all the possible cases where someone might want to calculate the trajectory of a projectile? Really?

It's not odd. Think harder. I'm saying under the benchmark and according to the logic of what SHOULD be going on under AsyncIO it SHOULD be negligible. So such performance issues between python and node SHOULDN'T matter, and that's why you CAN compare NodeJS and Python.

But actual testing does show an unexpected discrepancy that says that the problem is python specific because logically there's No other explanation.

>You're really sure that there's no context where the accuracy gained by relativity would be useful?

Dude I already know about that. I just didn't bring it up, because I'm giving you an example to help you understand what "NEGLIGIBLE" means. You're just being a pedantic smart ass.

There are many many cases where relativity is not needed because it's negligible. In fact the overwhelming majority of engineering problems don't need to touch relativity. You are aware of this I am aware of this. No need to be a pedantic smart ass. The other thing that gets me is that it's not even anything new, many people know about how satellites travel fast enough for relativity to matter.

>Again, this is you making stuff up

Dude nothing was made up.

I never said "there's no context where the accuracy gained by relativity would be useful". "No context" is something YOU made up.

In fact "made up" is too weak of a word. A better word is an utter lie.

That's right. You're a liar. I'm not being rude. Just making an observation. Embarrassed yet?
