Yep, for me it confirms all the reasons why I think python is slow and not a good language for anything that goes beyond a script. I work with it everyday, and I have learned that I can't even trust tooling such as mypy because it's full of corner cases - turns out that not having a clear type design in a language is not something that can be fundamentally fixed by external tools. Tests are the only thing that can make me trust code written in this language

Yes, that is literally the explicit point of the talk. The first myth of the article was “python is not slow“
