so nothing will stop you...
create program in py which build a$[1000000]
then fill each element with just one char
and tell us how much time python need for that.
simple isn't?
Yes, simple indeed:
#!/usr/bin/env python
arr = ['c']*1000000
[riveraa@Blossom ~] $ time ./arr.py
real 0m0.059s
user 0m0.033s
sys 0m0.021s

Here is
AIR's Python example on my laptop.
jrs@laptop:~/python$ time ./arr.py
real 0m0.971s
user 0m0.030s
sys 0m0.020s
jrs@laptop:~/python$
Here is the Script BASIC execution time on my laptop.
SPLITA STRING(1000000,"C") BY "" TO a
PRINT UBOUND(a)," : ",a[UBOUND(a)],"\n"
jrs@laptop:~/sb/sb22/test$ time scriba airray.sb
