Yeah, either a good Python JIT or Cython would have been fine honestly. I never understood the obsession with "python is slow" when you can recover almost all of the performance with a good JIT or Cython (in many/most cases).

Yes. Or simply profiling the app and optimizing sore spots would have helped too. It seems to me there was no real reason to move from Python to Go, apart from preference.

What are some good Python JIT's that are worth trying out?

[dr_zoidberg]

PyPy.
