Should I study Python further or choose something else?

Question

Python

What would be advised in the following situation: if I studied python for several months and even wrote a small site on flask + mysql, and now I tried to solve mathematical problems (olympiad) and python turned out to be slow. Previously, I did not attach importance to this, but then I came across.

Answer 1

That's right, pick something else. McDuck, for example.

Answer 2

Python is not slow! Either you don't know how to cook it, or you put it where you don't need it.
Highly loaded sites and applications in Python / Django (29 projects).
If you like python then learn it. Now there are enough orders for freelancing, and there are vacancies in companies.

Answer 3

If you want to solve "mathematical problems (Olympiad)" all your life, then choose something else.
Threat solution of Olympiad problems, practically does not intersect with what "ordinary" programmers face.

Answer 4

Have you tried asking yourself a question - will I earn money by riveting websites or solving Olympiad problems?
