Hi, I just read a paper[1] that compare python with numpy or pypy vs c++ and fortran from a code, memory and speed point of view. The python code was still better as you can't have list of ndarray in fortran and some other stuff was harder to do. The fastest was fortran, then C++, but pypy around 2x slower then c++. That isn't bad for a more productive development language.
Maybe you can check that article to find more case to compare.
