luckily these problems actually do get addressed slowly via AoT/Graal and Substrate VM.
Here comparing a simple hello world program one is written in java and uses Substrate VM to create a binary and compare it with python:
$ time ./hello.py hello world!
real 0m0.041s user 0m0.017s sys 0m0.023s
$ time ./hello.main hello world!
real 0m0.019s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.010s
of course the comparsion is unfair
