The other languages are not saner. You are basically saying "Python GIL is annoying because I can't write parallel processing performant code in Python". Python has never been and is not a performant language. Its designed for rapid and easy development. The multiprocessing+asyncio in Python fulfills the aspect of utilizing all the resources, albeit at a higher memory cost, but memory is dirt cheap these days. You have a master process and then worker threads. For all things that you would write in Python, where in >90% cases you are network latency limited, the paradigm of a master process and worker processes with IPC on unix sockets works extremely well. Set up a web app with fast api/gunicorn master/uvicorn workers, and it will be plenty fast enough for anything you do.
