I thought function calls was one of the decently optimized things in Python

Don’t write code, why do you need a computer to do your math? Just do it on paper ffs.

The downvotes are hilarious. Being able to drop down to C is one of python’s selling points, and the title of the post includes the name of the python ref implementation __C__Python.

There is a difference being able to drop down in C and using exclusively C.
One of the main advantage of python is being to quickly write code, and using C-based library / part of code written in C (or fortran, or rust for what it matters) when needed.
“just write C” may lack a bit of nuance.

Exactly.
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

How about no.
