Python is inherently slow, why not go straight to C?

Suit yourself really. maybe there's more training data for CRUD apps in python than C, but I don't think it's too hard to implement the fundamentals of a web app in any language if you're also using a web server. Most webapps aren't that popular therefore don't use that much computation anyways, so theres a point of diminishing returns on making your CRUD as efficient as scientifically possible. some prefer a managed runtime so that a bug causes EG python to crash instead of the consequences of a bug in native code, but that can be mitigated easily enough as well.

But LLM will figure it out so why not take free speed?

BTW, also if we're getting rid of a web framework and letting the LLM write specialized code for the various CRUD operations, why not also get rid of Postgres/MySQL/Redis and let LLM also write specialized code for reading, writing, and querying the various business objects?
