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?

Oh no it's the bouncy ball chart.

Please, if you have enough time, watch this https://youtu.be/EH12jHkQFQk

and avoid making any decisions using this chart.

I did not mention that chart at all in the blog post. I just used this as a nice illustration.
