Great post for intermediary programmers, who started programming in Python, and who should now learn what's under the hood to get to the next level of their education. Sometimes (perhaps most of the time), we should ignore the nitty gritty details, but the moment comes where you need to know the "how": either because you need more performance, sort out an issue, or do something that requires low-level action.

There are few sources like this post targeting that intermediate group of people: you get lots of beginner YouTube clips and Web tutorials and on HN you get discussions about borrow checking in Rust versus garbage collection in Go, how to generate the best code for it and who has the best Rope implementation; but little to educate yourself from the beginner level to the level where you can begin to grasp what the second group are talking about, so thanks for this educations piece that fills a gap.
