Here is a challenge for Python.
Can Python solve Sudoku?

hurt anybody.
Lets say you program a flying drone with Python,
and the measurement is from the drone sensor
and communication systems.
Lets say you are using the idle time between
measurements for some complex planning. It
is then not true that you have anyway
to wait for the measurement.
Hope this helps!
BTW: If somebody knows another Python implementation
I am happy to test this implementation as well.
I am assuming that the standard Python python.exe
I tested amounts to CPython? Not sure. And the
GraalVM is practically the same as JPython? Not
sure either.
Opinion: Anyone who is counting on Python for truly fast compute
speed is probably using Python for the wrong purpose. Here, we use
Python to control Test Equipment, to set up the equipment and ask for
a measurement, get it, and proceed to the next measurement; and at the
end produce a nice formatted report. If we wrote the test script in C
or Rust or whatever it could not run substantially faster because it
is communicating with the test equipment, setting it up and waiting
for responses, and that is where the vast majority of the time goes.
Especially if the measurement result requires averaging it can take a
while. In my opinion this is an ideal use for Python, not just
because the speed of Python is not important, but also because we can
easily find people who know Python, who like coding in Python, and
will join the company to program in Python ... and stay with us.
