Well, the "1/3 the time" thing is valid only if you're familiar with both
languages, otherwise the comparison does not make much sense.

Though, there were a few occasions where I witnessed people familiar
with C, but completely new to Python, coding something simple and
working in at most 1/2 the time it would take them to do the same in
C.
