No worries -- I actually agree with you. We actually don't do very much scripting at my company in general -- Java, Go and JS (for Lambda) are roughly what we've standardized on.

We have a bunch of Python scripts for operations work and it's rare that performance becomes a major concern (...except in/regarding Ansible). Development isn't my team's primary responsibility so this state of things is fine -- our SysEng team can grok Python pretty well, whereas with other languages I wouldn't say this is true.
