> If you really care about performance, probably best to avoid Python entirely

This has been true forever. Nothing more needs to be said. Please, avoid Python.

On the other hand, I’ve never had issues with Python performance, in 20 years of using it, for all the reasons that have been beaten to death.

It’s great that some people want to do some crazy stuff to CPython, but honestly, don’t hold your breath. Please don’t use Python if Python interpreter performance is your top concern.
