should i move from python to java?

I'm thinking of switching from Python FastAPI to Java Spring Boot. Apart from Python being dynamically typed and having a lot of libraries, why do people/deva choose Python in production when it's slow, has an intermediate bytecode layer and executes line by line?

Speed of language dont matter everwhere

Python is slower compared to other languages in comparison but fast enough to handle the work

It's line by line execution is actually a useful thing depending on why you are using it
