It's all about performance and concurrency here, but I'm quite happy about this for another reason: static compilation. If I needed really performant code, I'd write it in Go/Cython/[insert your fav language] in the first place. But if I have some existing code that I just want to run without worrying about the Python runtime being installed/correct, this is a good solution. (Sure, none of my code will work, because it's all Python3 and usually uses C/asm, but it's still early and I'm hopefull.)
