If you really need speed (high RPS) then Python is going to tap out at some point. Normally for line-of-business apps and most startups, developer productivity trumps raw perf IMO (obviously depends on the domain though).

There is some argument that you (or at least some developers) can be more productive with a strongly-typed ORM, but I think FastAPI / Django-ninja capture most of these benefits in the Python ecosystem so it’s not a big win in this dimension IMO.

But in summary it’s a perf vs productivity trade-off.
