iirc, the goal was to minimize memory compaction within the framework in order to boost the number of concurrent requests and speed at which one can address them. This might have reflected in some slightly un-pythonic design choices in order to avoid string literals in the framework code, etc. Django/Flask are written for the programmer. I think Falcon is, to a degree, written for the machine (although if you're a systems programmer you may snark at this).
