Yup. Use the right tool for the job. Python's performance is definitely something that the implementers of Python should worry about, but as a user, you have choices and you should exercise them. If your problem requires relatively high performance: Java, Go and Rust are all good alternatives. If absolute pedal-to-the-metal, no compromises, performance is needed: C, C++ are your choices. Heck, you can even inline assembly in some cases.
