C is compiled into a final stage
Where it's passed to an interpreter. Only this interpreter is
implemented in hardware oops, not really anymore.
Now, please tell me where I said it was bad that this happened, or that python was wrong.
You said:
I've been looking to learn a programming (Even though Python is scripting.) language
Learn a programming language, even though Python is scripting. As if it weren't a programming langauge.
I don't want to kill you with fire for this, but I want to address this whole "scripting not programming / second class programming / poor man's programming / not powerful / slow / stupid / etc" issue. Especially because the best languages, and also the ones you should learn if you want to do anything serious, are often executed by a high-level interpreter, which is often the source of their power and correctness. C is OMG OPTIMIZED, but it's little more than portable assembly, and doesn't have many interesting features and abstractions. Higher-level language runtimes can be typically 20% to 200% slower, even 800% in the case of amusingly slow interpreters, but this performance difference is in 99% of cases meaningless (in the case of learning, in 100% of cases meaningless), and the source of your power.
