Indeed! Converting one's entire code base to a different language ecosystem, finding equivalents to each of your third-party dependencies, is less painful than employing a library to selectively compile a few performance bottlenecks in your code.

(Modules like PyJulia facilitate a more incremental approach.)

That's why you should switch before creating the codebase in the first place.
Normally I'd agree with your sarcasm, but Python is such a disaster that I am in favor of ditching it ASAP in favor of literally anything else.
