I think it's true that it's exaggerated, but that doesn't mean the tradeoff doesn't exist.

A tradeoff that doesn't make sense to complain about, when the alternative is waiting for native libraries being compiled, in a mix of C, C++, Fortran and more recently Rust.

A pain point that is big enough that at least two programming languages, Julia and Mojo, were created to move beyond it.

Which would not even be an issue, if Lisp, Scheme and Prolog had not lost their aura among AI devs.
