FastAPI creator: Python scales to 20M requests/sec, the right tool at OpenAI's scale

FastAPI creator tiangolo argues Python is the right tool to grow to OpenAI's size and speed: keep using it until you exceed 20 million requests per second, thanks to Python's fastest product iteration speed and simplest syntax for building exactly what you intend. AKNain adds that AGI will be written in Python—Python carried ML this far, and Python plus C/C++ is all you need.
