High abstraction level

I am missing a useful comment on the fact that since it is a very high-level interpreted scripting language, it is not as fast as a compiled program.
--Morten Juhl Johansen 06:42, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

I think the issue is a little more complicated, because python code can theoretically be JIT-compiled, which would make it run at the speed of a natively compiled program. I'm not sure about the current state of compilers/VMs though. But the statement is indeed true of CPython. --Ion Alexandru Morega 07:05, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
