Python.....

So today I learnt Python (well the syntax and semantics) and I loved the simplicity it give the user...etc

But anyway, since it's an interpreted language and all how does it compare in terms of system resources and such with other languages such as C/C++ and JAVA.

I see an awful lot of python implemented utilities but I'm not sure if it's because of it's simplicity or something else.

Thanks!

if you put two lines after every statement in python

youre program will be twice as slow

because the interpreter has to interpret

twice as many statements
