For the sake of a graduate program in "data science" I'm trying to get into, I am just embarking on learning some Python, which will be my first object-oriented language . . . though actually IS it object-oriented? I can recall seeing it referred to as a "scripting language."
As a newcomer to it, I was intrigued to read in Kael's guide to Civ V modding that python's negative impact on performance in Civ IV was a part of why the decision was made to switch to Lua for Civ V. While I'm in no position to dispute that, I find it strange given that Python is used in so many seemingly "high performance" contexts: Mount&Blade and EVE Online being games I know of; google and Youtube are also based in python, no?
Just curious to hear what any of your thoughts are on Python.
ADDIT: maybe I should've put this in an "off-topic" forum? If so my apologies, and hope it isn't a problem for a mod to move the thread.
