You will definitely find Python inferior to C++ when it comes to performance (I do find Pyton to be superior to PHP in that respect). That doesn't mean I'm not using the hell out of Python -- I am. Here's an example: generating my set of basic tic-tac-toe patterns takes a few seconds in Python. It takes so long in PHP that one can't write it as a server function because the script times out. In C++, the time is humanly indistinguishable from instantaneous.
