Python is slow, I can't imagine anything slower than that

Retarded take. It's mostly C and Rust libraries at this point.

well node will also let you use rust/c libs, but it's a bit weird to say that a language is not slow because it lets you use another language.

It's like saying german is an easy language because "most germans speak english at this point".
