Well, They don't choose languages per se but choose frameworks based on that and ... by virtue of that choose languages. Like just to get faster web services.
The benchmark is pretty much referred to in the Python world, web side like https://www.starlette.io/ "Independent TechEmpower benchmarks show Starlette applications running under Uvicorn as one of the fastest Python frameworks available. (*)" https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi ... (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic). One of the fastest Python frameworks available. Both with links to the benchmarks. So, while non-web folks don't care, web folks seem to care. And as a web someone i wanted to know why is that so.
