Are we back to "programming language X is slow" assertions? I thought those had died long ago.
Better algorithms win over 'better' programming languages every single time. Git is really simple and efficient. You could reimplement it in Python and I doubt it would see any significant slowness. Heck, git was originally implemented as a handful of low level binaries stitched together with shell scripts.
