People have been calling Python a "prototyping" language for decades. I'd be interested to see how many Python projects ever actually get rewritten in a more performant language. My guess is, up until the last five years that was almost never done. Even with LLMs to help, is that the best use of your tokens and humans' time? It doesn't add a feature. It could conceivably cut costs after enough time, but only if done correctly.
