One of the reasons I have completely dropped interpreted languages (Python, Java, JS) and followed the "back to compiled software" hype. I am now writing my software purely in Go and Rust and again using pipes, queues and temp storage, to connect smaller programs, tools, services. The Unix philosophy was revolutionary and (for me) the ultimate solution for software organisation. But, one never knows what he had, until he loses it, so I treat the few years of experimentation with interpreted alternatives, as a positive.
Putting java and python in the same bracket on performance because they are interpreted, completely ignores what JVM is and can do today.
Not the biggest fan of Java the language. But the JVM is a beast. Has better virtual threads and much faster FFI than go these days too.
