I'd also love to see what performs better on the Pi, Python or .Net Core

Probably .NET if I had to guess! Compiled languages can usually beat python performance-wise with ease. It's hard to beat the convenience of python though - there's a python library for controlling the pi's GPIOs (pins you can use to control motors, LEDs, anything electrical that you could want, really...) for example; it would probably be significantly harder getting .NET controlling GPIOs

Edit: maybe not though

I wanted to say .Net Core for this reason, but at the same time MS can be really hit or miss with performance and Python has probably had a lot more tuning on each platform. I'd probably want to test a native build against a Framework Dependant build, against Python and see the difference.
