-blam!- python fam. Way to computationally expensive to do simple database analysis. I used it to interpret data on a few thousand Pulsars. Took 5 minutes to run each time. Was the biggest headache of my life trying to debug that shit. Never again.

It's not my CPU, it's just because of how Python preforms. It's clean and concise, yes, but that doesn't help when I need to parse something in a very particular manner, especially not when I have to do so thousands of times.
