Mar 27, 2020 at 15:03 comment added Onorio Catenacci There are so many factors that effect performance I don't believe it's possible to give a generic answer to this question. For example, if your C++ app is reading/writing the disk and your Python app isn't, then I feel confident the Python app will be faster. Doesn't mean Python is faster in general--just means that particular situation. In general picking a language you're very proficient with and employing it well will lead to good fast code. If your code isn't performant enough then profile it. Picking a language based on "speed" is the definition of premature optimization.
Mar 21, 2020 at 14:52 comment added candied_orange As hand tuned performance experts spend more and more time playing with how these newer languages get transformed, performance is becoming less and less a good reason to choose any language. Performance stability used to be a good reason but more and more you're not the only thing on the CPU.
