Yes, if done properly. The issues with the particular Python/Gunicorn setup the author described in an earlier article (linked to in this one) were not so much Python/Gunicorn issues as "not understanding how to properly use Python/Gunicorn" issues, or more generally "not understanding how the tool you are trying to use actually works" issues. (I actually shudder to think what such a group would have done trying to program the same application in C.)
