If I use Python instead of Lua for monte carlo tree search, my machine will page out, and even before it pages out, my training pipeline will be running dozens of times slower than it was with Lua.

If I use Python instead of Lua to make a game, I will not be able to update my game state and render all my images at 60hz.

If I use Python instead of Lua to write programs that do many tasks at the same time, I will have to write "await" a thousand times instead of 0 times.
