Performance where, exactly? Most Python data munging I've seen just punts it all to C based libraries anyways. Are people doing things in pure python these days?

Under the hood, numpy and friends punt to native code. FFI / native module performance becomes a bottleneck, and Bun is correctly focusing in this area. Shumai [1] is a cool library for Bun that also punts to native code
