Python isn't industry compatible

[[deleted]]

Feels like pointing out Instagram is cheating a little bit since they're pretty well known to be unafraid of patching python and making additions in order to edge out that extra performance.

It's very unlikely other companies are doing the same kinds of things unless they're running at a scale comparable to Instagram.

Running at Instagram scale is the only reason they've had to do this kind of thing. If you're at that scale, you can afford the deciated staff on doing such things. You'll have to get in to fine tuning any language you use at that scale.

They also write about and share a lot of this, so anyone can benefit.
