I read "CGI" as computer generated imagery, python was a strong glue language in this field in the 90s.

Also I think people misread 'python speed', few c++ masters said it was more about prototyping to converge on good overall design rather than suffering the efforts of early iterations in c++ (90s c++).

Definitely in the context of the times, Python was more pleasant overall for initial prototyping than any static typed alternatives, including Java.

I still use it for quick one-off scripts to "do things" with bits of data and so on. And as a calculator.
