    No we wouldn’t, and this is a crazy take when like half of Linux runs on interpreted python.

    You’re min/maxing for things that don’t matter. You know what does matter? User facing features. You know what language in unquestionably the fastest to produce user facing features in? JavaScript/HTML/CSS.

    If you want to optimize for performance you can do so after by moving things server side, writing them in web assembly, or offloading them onto other threads.

    There’s also massive opportunity cost in a) programming in low level languages, and b) having every developer have to learn a low level language. There’s a reason that we don’t all code in assembly any more.
