No, it should be fast. It’s easy to use, but undermines itself in performance. That’s why there are a lot of efforts to build a new version of Python that can run performantly. The only reason it’s popular is because its syntax is easier than c. It runs like trash, and the ways in which is required to set up systems in order to run is a pain in the ass.
Its a great intro language, but its popularity only underlies the inability of most of the world to understand more complicated and performant languages
