Fair enough :) And no worries, it's a well written post and Python and performance are both topics that are near and dear to me.

And absolutely. Risk/reward trade offs should always be considered. One of the main issues I've had with Python at scale is WSGI. With the release of ASGI servers and asyncio, many of those specific issues can be greatly mitigated if not solved entirely. I just thought that it would be helpful to address this particular issue as I've been bitten by it in the past. Having to re-architect pieces of a system under such circumstances is not a fun thing ;)
