I develop scripts, and a few minor but important-to-my-business scientific apps in Python due to library support. I'm quite excited. We already wrangle as much performance as we can out of our approaches, so anything that speeds up actual execution is awesome.

Python is wonderful in many scenarios and terrible in others. I'm curious to know which python-based apps you're using.

litecli, pgcli, docker-compose, visidata, ranger, yt-dlp, aws-cli, …

docker-compose is now golang based.

And there is a huge chance the slowness of the others is due to whatever they are connecting to.

hmm, so it is. I still have the one i installed from pypi though.

I guess I've eliminated quite a few of them over the years.

The biggest one remaining is probably matrix-synapse.
