Broken logics. You do accept every contribution even if you know that
patch does not comply with your quality standards? And a language
(itself) is inefficient because _you_ don't want to learn it?
And you can compare the efficiency without knowing how a _good_
implementation in the other language may look like?

Heh, now your change your line of argumentation just to make it look
