I would not have expected this outcome. How can it be that Python is faster than go and Rust?! This seems ridiculous. I had several tasks using python to iterate over much smaller files and it took much longer than 2.x seconds. My machine has also similar specs.

Python is definitely slower on other tasks. but is receiving a lot of improvements at byte level, and the beta version claims to be 3 times faster. thanks for the comment.
