I'm always slightly confused by the language speed comparisons for I/O heavy applications like networked services. On the one side you are taking in, for example, HTTP requests, on the other you are talking to a database, maybe some other networked APIs. A caching layer picks up plenty of load - how often is the program really cpu-bound here?

For me fastAPI [0] and async Python call the performance statements into question; good to run some benchmarks with real world use cases
