If you put Python and Ruby in the same graph Go and C will look more the same. Though let's be honest, how much does language speed really matter for most thing

If you put Python and Ruby in the same graph Go and C will look more the same. Though let's be honest, how much does language speed really matter for most things? It's crap code that kills performance more than anything from my limited experience, and with a higher level language you might have easier access to libraries implementing efficient algorithms for. When good performance is needed we don't even "write code" anymore, we use ASICs. BTC mining, network switching/routing and encryption comes to mind.
