In my example the unprincipled spouse corresponded to muddled thinking and C++ corresponded to the laws. So your advice of "use Python" translates to "move to another country", quite sensible advice for bachelors in countries where laws favor women.

And your own example doesn't parse for me: Java should be faster than Python in most cases.

(Yeah, I'm all for bringing the thread back on topic as a programming discussion.)
