Well, hiredis and uvloop already exist and are well tested, so anybody can easily use them with normal Python. Rewriting things in Cython isn't something many Python users would be doing routinely.

Fine, but then I don't see what this program is proving about Python performance, other than that it's actually bad and even basic programs will need to use high performance libraries that are not pure Python. This is in contrast to say, languages like Go or Rust, where most of the time shelling out to C is an issue of ecosystem maturity.
