>Unless you have some particular type of software in mind perhaps? Webservices. May be its fine for couple of hundred users, but when there are thousands of concurrent users with heavy I/O I've been forced to replace asyncio with uvloop, replacing coroutine with gevent, implementing pre-fork worker models etc. to get decent performance. I've since then moved any webservices development to Golang and has been perfect. I understand there are large scale companies like Instagram which supposedly use Python and I don't detest it. It's just there are better tools for job now, especially for a lean startup and of-course Python has it's advantages like being a good first programming language and large library ecosystem.
