Abstract

Close
- We read with interest the Comment by Portegies Zwart on the ecological impact of high-performance computing in astrophysics. We fully agree with its take-home message: scientists should be mindful of their carbon footprint. One of the proposed solutions, however, is to avoid the Python programming language. We contend that this would be counterproductive and that scientific programs written in Python can be efficient and energy-friendly. We argue that human factors, such as education, and the advancement of compiler technology are much more important than choice of language.
