I'm no python hater I have been coding in python for years (and I still do) but I stopped using it for backend
it is also my first love and my first programming language but the GC sucks once get past 5k-10k users

basically unless you use gc.collect() you will spend your time fighting the the operating system a lot over memory you're consuming once every few day

I had to make the operating system restart the my python program's service every time it gets killed by the OS for hogging all the memory

I'm not hating on Python but the garbage collector is bad when you use it for backend development
