I've been comparing various platforms and discussing them with ChatGPT—for instance, why Python's execution is slower than JavaScript's V8. It claimed this is due to mtechnical debt and the inability to change because libraries like NumPy bypass public interfaces and access data directly.

I'm wondering how much of that is true and what is just a hallucination."

Btw: JavaScript seems to have similar complexity issues.

Edit: Python has no JIT

How about gamification in LibreLingo ? It's number one Duolingo feature.
