The reason people are able to get by with Python is because the Python libraries that are computationally expensive are written mostly in C or C++. Well, that and the whole "scalability" where people run 100 servers in a cluster to do the same thing 1 server could do if the application was well designed.

@chamber_hiro256 As soon as you do that, you'll need a message bus, and redis, and docker, and K8s and load balancers, and devops and everything will slow to a crawl and be puke.

@gmodrules123456789 distributed system cost significantly more to develop. There are also a lot more opportunities for bugs and failure. Why do you think it is easy to design distributed systems?

@jshowao yes you are correct but those aren't the kinds of applications I've seen. I've seen systems with little traffic that are still clustered
