Author here—while many systems are performance-sensitive, many others aren't. Personally, I don't enjoy writing Python at work due to its lack of misuse resistance more than any concerns about performance (although a large-enough project will eventually care about performance _at some point_), but I have little issue writing smaller Python programs that only _I_ maintain.
