I don't like how he makes it a choice between Python and C++/Rust. There is very many languages that are more similar to Python in convenience and yet run reasonably fast (and you can actually optimize some procedures when you need to, because there is a compiler). Go, Julia, C#, F#, Scala, Kotlin, even recent Java... all much faster than Python and much less pain to work with than C++.
And the interoperability is not as awesome as it's painted in the article, it's always more pain to have more languages in a project that need to talk together
