Been there, done that. Decision makers rationalize any other choice
pretty easily:
- Python is 20 times slower: "We don't need speed."
- Python has a global lock: "We will start RESTful separate processes."
- Python's memory foot print is huge: "We will use less processes and
use coroutines."
- Python does not provide static type-checking: "We will use pylint."
People submit code that are broken: "They should use pylint."
- Similar other items where Python is inferior: "We'll deal with those
when they become issues."
- Python is better on this one item: "Great! We choose Python."

I'm afraid bearophile has moved to greener pastures. I've run into
bearophile on Reddit on Rust-related threads. He uses a different name
there.

D companies are known to interview in e.g. C++ but tell the candidates
that they will be coding in D.
