Classification Problems - When to Code in C vs Python
This is related to the classification and clustering problems of sticking to the UNIX philosophy, in terms of atomic units, which also sticking to the simple implementations.
In order to give an answer to this, we must have a proper understanding of the underlying implementations to decide when the Python implementation is not too far off in performance compared to the C implementation.
RELATED: See my other idea in Zettel Notes about how the core parts of the program should be made faster, but the less important parts will not improve the overall speed even if it is made to be faster.
Also relevant is the analogy between cohesion and coupling.
The topic that will define this problem is clustering and classification.
