From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Of course, Python will always be slower than C/C++. But you'll only notice it's made with python if it is slow, otherwise you won't even think about it. Many system utils use it, for the convenience of ArgumentParser etc., but as they follow the principle of doing one thing only, but very quickly and well, you'll not even notice the difference between it being written in python, running for 0.1s, and C, running for 0.01s.
Is this an empty excuse lol?
Now add 10 or 50 things like that together and see the difference. One thing never makes a difference but it's a combination of all of them that does. Ask ecologist for example.
Chaining that together would make a difference if the whole DE would be written in Python, and only on startup. Almost everything you do is broken down into very simple instructions anyway. Instructions that run in milliseconds in every language.
Sorry but your excuses only defend Python and induce bloat and planned obsolescence.
