Why are so many of these written in python? That seems against the spirit of this quiz. Should change the name of the site to "how fast is python really?"
That, and Python is probably the most accessible language for the most number of people.
Most people who are tech adjacent, learn declarative langs like SQL, HTML first. Python doesn't look like that at all.
It's like when people say "Go is so easy to read!" I learned to program in SML then OCaml, __insert other FP langs__ then Ruby and ES6, Go looked pretty alien to me the first time I saw it.
In my point, I rebuttal that non programmers would find python "easy to read", kinda not true.
I then use my exposure to Go as antidotal evidence, of the above observation.
