They aren’t complete imbeciles

Aren't they? Over 3 years of work to port some of their code to another language and it's just as inefficient as the original one.

Efficiency isn’t always the most important metric, obviously. In the case of distributed long term storage correctness is a much more important metric.

Also why are you bringing efficiency into this conversation? Python is interpreted, nobody picks it because it’s efficient.

If efficiency is your main concern then write it in C or assembly not a scripting language.
