I'm glad to see people recognizing that computers are quite fast and that they don't need massive cloud-scale solutions for simple problems. That being said, Python really shines as glue code and in small scripts where performance doesn't matter. You'll see considerable performance (and likely maintainability) gains by moving off of Python to almost any other language.
