Python code which uses stuff mostly from the standard libraries isn't really that slow. Parsing a JSON? Call a wrapped C function. Process a media file? Call a wrapped C function. If you keep the actual CPU-intensive stuff in C code, the ops executed by the Python interpreter can be negligent.

That Python's performance doesn't matter because you can write things in C instead is faint praise indeed.

You don't need to write it. The ecosystem is already chock full of compiled extensions. That's kinda the point.
