Certainly, if "C gives up too much convenience for the sake of performance" is pertinent to the discussion, then so is "Python gives up too much performance for the sake of convenience"? I would tend to agree that *neither* is particularly relevant (as comparing languages is relatively futile) but saying one is and one isn't seems an arbitrary double-standard to me. To repeat, I didn't really try to make a case one way or another. I agree that it would be nice to not have nil-maps in the language. I also agree that we should not ignore the performance impact of that. I'm just trying to explain why things are the way they are.
