You are talking past the point I am making. No doubt Python has excellent adoption because the language is incredibly idiomatic and easy to understand -- thus why it is my favorite language. Python is great in all of the ways you just stated but it could be better and I am saying that speed for CPU bound tasks is the way it could be better. I am so tired of binning Python in favor of golang the moment latency becomes important, I would like to use it all the time.
