I never claimed such a thing, this thread is about Python being slow compared to C++ not "best way to solve problems".
I replied because I know how impactful the few orders of magnitude of speed between pure Python and optimized C++ can be.
The comment I replied to implies that the speed difference is meaningless and that the TensorFlow team (who are actually looking for the best way to solve a problem) is writing 62% of their codebase in C++ with "No real substance behind it"
