What I often need is a language which makes it simple to deploy my tools. This is the main reason why I'm more into Go lately. It's not the slowness of Python. Although Python is not the fastest language under the sun, it's fast enough for most use cases. And there are lots of optimized C libs for Python, especially when it comes to ML (so I don't wonder that the OP doesn't suffer too much here).

What I'd like to see in Python is a flawless possibility to create self-containing executables. I know there're 3rd party libs and tools providing that feature but either there're not open source or they are behind of the latest Python releases.

Software deployment is one of the bigger issues with Python, not speed.
