Based on my analysis I'm pleasantly surprised with the performance improvements Python has received in the last couple of years starting with Python 3.11, and I'm also frankly blown away by PyPy, which I expected to be only marginally faster than CPython and is instead running at or close to Node.js speeds. I'm definitely going to play more with PyPy going forward!

That sounds a lot like "yes, Python is that slow".

To be fair, I think devs typically pick a language based on personal preferences, so speed doesn't really matter as long as it's fast enough.

...and whatever project they're making. You wouldn't use Python in something that does a million matrix calculations, but for basic scripting it's fine.
