My personal preference for Swift was for sure a major aspect. I also like to profile my code and see how much I can out of it. It is more an academical challenge to compare performance mmap vs file reads calls, but I enjoy it :)

With Python I always struggled to get performance to a very high level. I am sure it is possible, but Swift with some C code was more natural for me.
