Too Long; Didn't Read
The debate between C++ and python has been intense for sometime. C++ is an extremely flexible language which lends the programmer considerable power over everything in the computer – even memory allocation, something impossible to control in python. Python is doubtlessly closer to English and hence easier to learn. C++ wins the game. It is many times faster than Python, the reason being Python itself is written in C (the predecessor of C++). C++ has no such documentation or clarity of thought. What it does have is a huge community of supporters working day and night.
