We all know Python is slow. But in many cases it is not. Before blindly complaining the slowness of Python, we need to know when it is slow. There are also many cases it's totally OK to be slow, so before optimizing the code, we need know to when it's worth our time to rewrite our code. I will talk about Python's performance in different fields such as scientific computing, machine learning, plotting, network programming...etc. And also mention some experience about profiling and accelerating the code.

Hi! I am Benny. I am 20 year-old and now studying at the University of Hong Kong. I love coding and I enjoy coding in Python.
I am currently a year-2 student who would like to learn not only how to code, but also why the code works and how to make the code better. Hence I choose a major that would give me more understanding on hardware and lower level implementation. And of course, more fun!
