Python is currently running on 100,000s of CPUs right now. There's an environmental cost to that.
Moreover, people have huge python apps that they can't just rewrite and python just isn't fast enough. This has happened so many times. So many man hours have been spent optimizing python code, that we have over a dozen different implementations in just this thread alone and it doesn't include 3 that I know of.
Python's current Achilles heel is actually it's performance. It's slow as fuck. Those 10% of applications matter. And faster performance won't hinder anything for people writing 100 line scripts.
