I don’t really care, people will downvote for any number of reasons, and I know I was right, so it doesn’t bug me
Comment on Are Function Calls Still Slow in Python? An Analysis of Recent Optimizations in CPython

There is a difference being able to drop down in C and using exclusively C.

“just write C” may lack a bit of nuance.
