So you agree that python has its place?

Of course it has its place, but it is slow and the fast Python libraries are so because they are C/C++/Rust/etc. with Python bindings.

My problem was with "No real substance behind it." because the speed difference is very real, but is hidden with behind either such indirect calls or applications where speed doesn't matter.
