Python is the best "glue" language I've ever used. When you want to chain together your program's high-level logic and all of the loops happen inside other languages like Rust, Go, Zig, D or C, Python's performance is perfectly adequate and it's so clear and concise it reads like pseudocode.
Even worse when you look at a class that’s over 1k long.
As long as you do all your lookups with dicts or sets performance is pretty decent for smaller workloads.
