Yes, but that's my point.

If I don't need performance, Python is ok.

If I do, I won't go Java, I will choose something that is built for performance. Python is good enough for 99% of my performances need. The last 1%, jumping to java is not a big difference, I'll use rust or go.

I won't use go for the ecosystem, but it's unique characteristics: easy concurrency, dead simple binary production. Java can't beat that. IF I need an huge ecosystem, I'll go Python.

For the need for Java, I would need this very specific sweet spot where I need just enough speed, and just a rich ecosystem enough to justify it, and nothing that is a killer feature in alternatives. And a situation where compromise over this is not possible.

It never happens to me, that's all.
