С vs python? (In 2k20)

Answer 1

Depends what you want to do, but job wise i would go python.

Answer 2

If efficiency (intensive computations) is concerned, C/C++ (as any compiled vs interpred languages) will ever be faster than Python (comparing similar algorithm and implementation, obviously).

However, Python is much more easy /quickest to code, and beside provide specialized modules done with and/or binding C/C++ libraries, such as Pandas numerics modules ;)
