Totally agreed the run time difference matters sometimes. In my experience it's hasn't been the case for scripts, as they are generally small in scope in comparison to C++ applications.

Agree 100%. At work I write my code that needs to be performant in C++ and scripts in python. I wouldn’t even dream of writing a script in C++.
