Hardware is cheap. Hardware is on the "accessible to a 3rd world middle class person" level of cheap.

But with enough scale, it adds up, while the costs of a rewrite don't. And the difference between a language like Go and one like Python is on the hundreds of times.

FWIW, our tests showed Go as realistically being about 10x faster than Python for our tasks.
