Python is rapidly becoming the lingua franca of data science; but there the vast majority of your inner loop isn't Python (numpy, scipy, pandas, numba, theano; C, Fortran, assembler, Cython, LLVM, CUDA...).

Basically Python is the glue language data people wanted, it turns out.

The most-frequently-executed parts of Python are C. The best part is being able to glue all those together easily.
