Yes, it's very computer-sciency to hold that opinion. Say that next time you're stuck tracking down a buffer overflow.
The point of Python, as far as I'm concerned, is to avoid writing C, not go to it when something is hard. As such, a better-performing Python reduces the need for C extensions and thus makes it better at actually doing things I care about.
