Why use something slower when an equivalent faster tool is available? There's definitely a noticeable delay on my machine with starting up the python interpreter. Enough that it dominates most actual request times to fast servers. (`http get www.google.com` is ~460ms while `ht get www.google.com` is ~130ms) For a tool I'm constantly using to check APIs I'm developing, I really appreciate snappy commands that give me results that feel instantaneous.
