I would say the most popular way to speed up a python program today is not through a compiler anymore, but using rust for hot loops and maturin (https://pypi.org/project/maturin/ https://pypi.org/project/maturin/) for seamlessly use it in Python and provide packages. I get the benefit of being able to "just use python" and still gain a speed up though. Plus there are many situations with rust is no possible (no time to learn such a complex language, rust is not approved by the security team).

The other edge is where your heatmap is just all red, and so "speed up hot loops" isn't going to get it done, and at that point somebody needs to bite the bullet and {hire people who know / learn} an AOT language with good performance. or it turns out the reason the heatmap is all red is that you were solving categorically the wrong problem, e.g. you decided to use machine vision to figure out what's in the packaging, while your competitors are just scanning the EAN-13 barcode.
