I still believe that the main reason Python is slow is because people kept repeating that Python is slow and just accepted this as unavoidable. Combined with how nobody sponsored the main work on something like this, even though everyone would have benefited, and sparked all these independent projects. Given what insane performance has been extracted from Javascript, I'd expect the limits for Python being within an order of magnitude from C++/Rust.
