The problem of Python being slower than C.

But if you really want to write something that's fast you won't write it in Python, Julia, or these days - C. You would probably use C++ (in a non-C-ish, non-OOPish way), and in some cases (think DBMSes) you'd craft your own LLVM IR and have it JITed.

Why not just use Julia + a few crafty LLVM calls to get to the same place if you want to go that deep? That's essentially what you'd be doing from C++ there.
