One possible marketing strategy is to use the adjective "fast" in a broader sense. The Python slogan could be something like: "Programming has never been any faster" -- this changes the playing ground, from raw performance to *programming* performance. And sure, nothing beats Python (the overall package) in this respect. It can deliver fast code in a short time. Othere languages are faster to run, but take longer to code...
Parabens, Carlos, boa ideia! Carlos has said it well, Python has the edge in overall performance. Evidence seems to indicate a 3-4 times edge over development in Java, and this is a powerful argument. cheers, -- Stewart Midwinter stewart@midwinter.ca stewart.midwinter@gmail.com
