It also depends on what your use case is for the programs you write in those languages. If the use case relies heavily on CPU performance, then yeah, Python is awful in that regard. But if you're like me who mostly deals with ETL processes and report generation from several different systems over the internet, then Python's 60-70x slowdown means NOTHING in the face of network latency and the need to work with pagination limitations these external systems impose on REST endpoint users (and no, gRPC or its binary-serialization ilk are not available options).
Outside of that, though, what really grinds my gears about Python aside from its broad standard library compared to other languages is that it is home to what I think is the best property testing library in the world, Hypothesis. I know that the folks at Antithesis are working on getting Hegel [1] up and running, but they don't even have plans to support the language that my workplace prefers: C# (and I have been leading the charge in my workplace to keep up with the latest versions of .NET). Given how agents are now creating and modifying whole codebases, property tests live in that nice middle ground between unit tests and formal verification when it comes to validating (as best as we can) that the code works as intended.
