Python is currently running on 100,000s of CPUs right now. There's an environmental cost to that.

Moreover, people have huge python apps that they can't just rewrite and python just isn't fast enough. This has happened so many times. So many man hours have been spent optimizing python code, that we have over a dozen different implementations in just this thread alone and it doesn't include 3 that I know of.

Python's current Achilles heel is actually it's performance. It's slow as fuck. Those 10% of applications matter. And faster performance won't hinder anything for people writing 100 line scripts.

Don't abuse the damn ORM.

And write SQL directly for medium complexity queries.

Wait so now everyone has to sit down and evaluate their banks balance sheet before trying to do business with them?

Silicon Valley Bank had nothing wrong with it's business practices other than they were concentrated in one particular industry, and a slowdown in VCs pumping money resulted in them shrinking deposits suddenly. They asked their investors for money, some VCs basically yelled fire in a crowded theatre and boom a 40 year old institution was wiped out in 24 hours.

America has thousands of banks, and the way you would have this work would shrink that to 5. This way of operation would also wipe out every single credit union. Literally none of them have the insane levels of stability necessary to trust with money, if larger accounts are going to be at risk of a bank run.

That 250,000 number hasnt changed in nearly a 100 years. Maybe it isn't what we should be going off of?
