Of course it completely depends on the IT field you work on. I have experience working with mastodon apps in big teams with teams of more than 20 developers. In that kind of scenario the performance is the smallest problem you will have to handle.
And of course the performance is very important, but in years of experience you see tons of people worried exclusively about execution performance, and there are hundreds of metrics you should have in mind too. Everybody compares languages only based in execution performance when in the business field, development performance usually has a higher value
