    The downvotes are hilarious. Being able to drop down to C is one of python’s selling points, and the title of the post includes the name of the python ref implementation __C__Python.

      There is a difference being able to drop down in C and using exclusively C.

      One of the main advantage of python is being to quickly write code, and using C-based library / part of code written in C (or fortran, or rust for what it matters) when needed.

      “just write C” may lack a bit of nuance.

      Exactly.

      I don’t really care, people will downvote for any number of reasons, and I know I was right, so it doesn’t bug me
