Andrei suggested posting more widely.
That's flaimbait:
«Many really popular websites use Python. But why is that?
Doesn't it affect the performance of the website?»
No. Really popular websites use pre-generated content / front
end caches / CDNs or wait for network traffic from distributed
databases.
really popular portals, news sites? yes. really popular websites?
nope. like booking.com, airbnb.com, reddit.com are popular
websites that have many parts which have to be dynamic and
responsive as hell and they cannot use caching, pre-generated
content, etc.
using python affect the performance of your website. if you were
to use ruby or php your web app would be slower than it's python
version. and python version would be slower than go or d version.
