If your criticism isn't thoughtless, then that's not what I'm complaining about. Specifically, I'm annoyed about people who _just_ say "Python isn't fast enough, therefore it's not suitable to our use-case", when their use-case doesn't require significant speed or concurrency. If you thoughtfully discount Python as being unsuitable for a use-case that it's _actually_ unsuitable for, then good luck to you!

Python has been too often just a -bit- too slow for my use cases; the ability to throw a few cores at problems more easily is not going to eliminate this criticism from me but it's sure going to diminish it by a large factor.
