Say goodbye to any kind of performance

Lol because I need performance to script some garbage I'm going to run once

Right, that's why you don't switch from literally anything into python

It's the slow ass scripting language that's only good for a simple prototyping phase

The meme's making it look like it's the perfect next big thing

Hate to break it to you, but Python is absolutely good enough for production.

I've written production applications putting through over 10 million in annual revenue entirely in Python. It's a money maker and the simplicity in development, support, and deployment has saved my company hundreds of thousands in developer salaries.

I like the quote "Python is the second best language for everything". That makes it very valuable for companies which do a wide variety of things.

Yeah, there's a few massive websites out there that are flask or django

Maybe like 15 years ago. Plenty of production apps run Python and benchmark reasonably well.
