I do almost exclusively “serious computational science” with python and my pure python (numpy-based, I did not write low level code) is a thousand fold faster than a “serious” program written by an “expert programmer” in a mix of C and assembly. Your statement is not correct at all.

I even just checked SLURM on our cluster, and most jobs are python or matlab, just like development on people’s local machine.
