7% is massive for C, nothing for Python, and the benchmark suite is unreliable.

I'd wait for independent measurements in real world applications. Python core developers are very good at writing bloated benchmark suites that are so convoluted that no one knows what is going on.

Since more than two decades, big projects like "The need for speed", pythonspeed.com pop up periodically without anything happening. But apparently that's enough to get folks excited.

No, but Go and C++ are much easier to deploy.

7% is nothing, and the benchmark suite is notoriously unreliable. As usual, whenever a company that has done nothing at all for Python in 30 years attaches its name to the product of others, people fall over themselves to praise it.

Real improvements made by individuals for the last decade are taken for granted and aren't mentioned. The corporations are credit thieves.
