I have heard that python is at a disadvantage when it comes to making API requests. It’s built on C which makes it slower. Are there any languages that are low level enough to make fast requests and still API accessible?

    You will very rarely find that the choice of language is a major bottleneck,

  • I'd suggest Golang, it's fast enough and is designed API and website hosting. C is too low level, and C++ might still be a little low level.

    C is not a slow language. C and its derivative C++ have become dominant because they are fast. C is fast enough that I have heard it called a "glorified assembler'. I don't believe any python implementation is written in native machine language . ( stackoverflow.com/questions/21717660/… )
