Yeah but performance has way more to do with architecture than it does code readability.

Indeed, I am a bit notorious at work for speeding C++ code up by rewriting it in Python, and I have been able to do this not because my Python code is particularly fast but because the architecture of the C++ code was such a complicated and inefficient mess that it actually managed to be slower than Python.

That just hurts me. I love to bag on Python for being slow. But that also totally makes sense.
