Depressing, since I used to like Python. Though I was always aware of the 100x slowdown (or cost increase) vs. C++.

PyPy isn't much worse than Dart on this chart.

The interesting bit to me is JavaScript giving Go a run for its money. To me this indicates that Python could be a lot faster than it is.

I wonder where Swift would fit in?

I used to love Python. In fact, I still maintain a fairly popular Android development tool written in Python https://github.com/ashishb/adb-enhanced Over time, my love has hit a reality check.

I took the chart from here https://benjdd.com/languages/, it does a very specific test of loop iterations.

If you look at concurrency, I am sure Go will do way better than Node JS for concurrent request handling.
