I am interested in your story. Concrete examples would be helpful. Did the team follow a performance improvement mandate, analyzing the Python system and then deciding how best to proceed, or was performance not the primary motivator?

Both. It was loss of faith in the Python BDFL and core dev team, and also an examination of performance and reliability. Running on V8 and having type safety is a sweet spot that I haven't found elsewhere. Primary motivator was that Python has been creaking along for a while now, with a precarious future and there was finally a clear spot of greener grass to move to.
