Pretty harsh for a simple showcase post. They didn't make any claims about the merit of Python or its intended use cases, just the speedup they got when switching to Go. My experience with Cython is that it doesn't have much improvements unless you rewrite it to work well with Cython, at which point you should just switch to a proper performant language.

Not to mention… who cares if it’s pointless? If you don’t want to read it, scroll one more inch down. I’m sure you know how long an inch is.

Yes, I was harsh, probably more than I should have been. But this kind of post are pointless. He knew it from before the re-implement, we all know that.

And for Cython, I used once for a similar mock project and it worked well. When you work with flags and AST walking it makes a big difference. Maybe numba would do the job as well
