I write a lot of python, and the irony of this comment is that it’s probably true.

Worth the cost and time and effort? /shrug

Easier and faster to keep implementing features in? /shrug

…but out and out faster to build, deploy and run?

Yep, probably.

Im my experience python applications are slow it’s usually because your user logic is heavily implemented in python, and despite alllll the hand waving, that is, in general still slow. The package manger is slow and broken. It’s painful to deploy.

You can probably solve the problem in other ways, by picking parts to move to another language that provides an easy way to expose python bindings… but you know.

Make it faster by rewriting in go will probably work, if you only goal is “runs faster”.
