Python is the best language in the world.
Yes, Python is slower than other languages, but I don't care because most of my work doesn't require it to be faster.
Python is fast enough for what I need, and fast enough for most people out there.
On top of that, over 90% of the Python code you interact with uses C/Rust/Fast-thing behind the scenes anyway.
The speed at which you can write good Python code is way more important in most situations than the speed at which that code must run.
And no other programming language can match Python in code clarity and readability.
Except English, maybe.
