The Main Difference Between Symta and Python

$ time ./symta.exe -e 'I 0; while I < 100000000: ++I; say I'
100000000
No
real    0m 1.40s
user    0m 0.14s
sys     0m 0.00s

$ time python -c "i = 0; [i := i+1 for _ in range(100000000)]; print(i)"
100000000
real    0m 6.31s
user    0m 1.25s
sys     0m 0.71s

$ time ./symta.exe -e 'I 0; while I < 1000000000: ++I; say I'
1000000000
No
