> This article is about Go, but I could imagine something similar for Python: use something superfast under the hood, python for the high level part. It's really a common solution, which requires a bit of bindings left and right but it's worth it.

That's not a bad idea really, the wasm/wasi option could be a nice intermediate step between "we can't optimize the python any further" and "write a native extension" (or god forbid use cffi or the cursed horror that is ctypes).
