> python is plenty fast compared to the time it takes to write stuff to the network
With the proliferation of microservices, I find this increasingly not true. Sure, python definitely is plenty fast when you need to send something to a user many miles away. But with microservices, writing to the network might mean writing to a machine in the same data center, or even the same host in a different container. That's as fast as a few memory copies and a few context switches.
