title: Internet connection speed vs. Programming language speed for HTTP Requests?
body: <p>I know how to program in Python but I am also interested in learning C++. I have heard that it is much faster than python and for the programs I am writing currently, I would prefer them to run as quickly and efficiently as possible. I know that a lot of that comes from just writing good code but I was also wondering if using another language, such as C++, would help. </p>
  
  <p>While I was pondering this, I realized that since most of my programs will be mainly using the internet (as in implementing Google APIs and using the information from them to submit data to other websites) then maybe the speed of the language doesn't matter if the speed of my internet connection is always going to be relatively the same. I have two ways I am connecting to the internet: Selenium (or some kind of automated browser) for things that require a browser, and just HTTP requests. </p>
  
  <p>How much difference would I see between python and a different language even though the major focus of my programs is on the internet?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
