There is little difference in my experience. The question is what problem are you solving, and do you have the correct tool for the job?

It is frustrating to solve problems with the wrong tool. It is a joy when the tool fits the job. Need to write a web server? Not super fun in C. Need to access raw memory and machine intrinsics directly? Not fun in python.

The last time I was working on a web server it was in C++, and could be absurdly performant up to the limits of the operating system. But that was ZWS, before Linux started shipping its own kernel webserver and before the final death of commercial UNIX distributions.
