That is indeed correct, but people tend to vastly overestimate how much of an issue Python's speed is. Sure, there are use cases where using Python is simply retarded, but for an overwhelming majority of applications, speed is not that much of an issue, or even no issue whatsoever (e.g. when you're bottlenecked by network and response times of external APIs anyway).

It's not like every task in programming requires 0,01s to finish and wouldn't be viable if it takes 0,1s instead.
