I wish Python was faster. It’s so easy to write code in it… but then it’s easy to get bottlenecked either in multithreaded workloads or just from weird io choices.
Like I wrote some code to talk to LDAP using an open source lib and big queries are like 10x slower than shelling out to ldapsearch. So I like Python, but man the performance bites me sometimes.
There are small gains being made to make it faster, but bigger ones seem to be in perpetual limbo.
