Claiming python has blazing speed while literally being CPython is insanity. This is like saying "Im a natural body builder who only uses Test, HGH, and Dianabol". Great drop the natural part, similarily just advertise speed as CPython.

And it is not claimed anywhere. Besides, cpython is not really know to be fast, as it is an interpreter? Why would its implementation language matter much?

By bodybuilder standards, using just Test, HGH, and Dianabol is practically natty!
