Nothing can beat the Python numpy/ML ecosystem. There's a lot of value in just being able to run a Python script as well without any compilation step. The typing isn't perfect right now but it's usable.

For vectorizable problems there also won't be huge performance gains from switching to a compiled language because all the hard stuff is already done in highly optimized native code. The only time it really makes a difference is if you have to write a custom for loop or traversal.
