Where does the author imply something like "Pick python no matter the .. etc.?"

I read it as the much more milder "don't reject Python because of vague concerns about run-time performance".

I can't find anywhere which suggests the author things people should use Python to, for example, code up their web app front-ends or to implement a 'hard' real-time operating system.

Mi bad english played me bad here. I meant to write "Picks python... blabla"

Looked to me like a "Python isn't than bad for perf" article.
