Wait, what? You mean that the claim that "they could write it in a number of other languages" was falsified? Or maybe you think that "Python VM is slow"? No? Then these points still stand. Geez.
There is nothing special about ditching Python and getting speedups. Just last week I did the same with rewriting a service in Erlang - and I'm almost certain that it will perform even better on 8 cpus than even Go would.
