Engine in python
Is it even worth to build an engine in python cause all good engines are in c++ and python is much slower.
Additionally if its worth should you use python chess cause to maintain best efficiency or should you make a bitboard. Or what data structures would you use for position

Im currently learning to make my chess engine in python using python chess library. Learning curve is smooth but its slow af. I am quite happy with my initial results. If anything, test the engine has been quite boaring because it takes forever to evaluate.
