The only benefit of C++ or Java or C# over Python is that they are faster. But guess what, hardware will compensate for the speed differences thus making the other obsolete and Python will reign supreme!

Go is almost a fast Python without FIOC.
Go use it.

But as hardware gets faster it runs c faster, and Python continues to look shitty.
On PCs, why not. But embedded systems with performance of 90ies PCs are still spreading, thus making sure C and the likes is here to stay for a longer period of time.

Customers will prefer a fast product over a slow product, so there is always financial incentive for companies to develop in C.

The speed difference is unnoticable in most programs, and I am saying this as a C programmer.

Python fails at backwards compatibility. Even if it were fast enough (which it will never be), it would still be shit.
Also, it will never be used by proprietary code companies and I don't see why anyone would want to be restricted by FIoC.
That's part of why I'm learning it. By the time I get a job it will be the new Java, and I'll already have experience.
(Ignoring that Java will never leave because of legacy systems.)
