this post is probably too nieche but I feel like Lemmy is nerdy enough that enough people will get it lol

    i’d say that’s mostly reasonable… not to say you can’t mess around in the guts of python, but you can mess around a lot more in c

    the flip side of this is that python has a lot more guard rails: it’s simply impossible to write entire classes of sometimes very dangerous and subtle bugs in python code, while in c… go for it! that’s valid operations that you may have decided to do for performance reasons (also a reasonable argument, but if you know you’re not doing this fuckery then maybe it’s better to just let software not let you do them by accident or on purpose)
