forgot one more:
c++ toolchain comes with extensive profiler tools aimed to answer the question "why is my
program so slow, where is it spending all the time?". some of these tools go all the way to
the hardware level and report CPU cache misses, TLB flushes, context switches and any other
hardware events that interrupt or slow down computations. programmer than uses this
information to restructure the code to avoid the worst slow downs (i.e. avoid branch mis-
predictions, avoid cache misses, etc).
I doubt the python toolchain will ever profiler tools as good.
