I think there is a focus on C/C++ to justify Pythons performance.
There have been times when the performance of Node js/Python were part of the reasoning for choosing Java/Scala.
Each time you are regaled with how Python is C/C++ underneath and so faster. Each time you have to ask if they will write C/C++ libraries to ensure the application performance meets our needs.
Similarly any time you go near lambas you get a comment on how python lambdas are faster because its C running, where as Java has to start a virtual machine, etc…
