If you need an example one is in front of you and you are using it
now. Google uses python at their thousands of servers. But as you see
Google gains this performance from the power of hundreds of thousands
servers. The main idea behind the Google search engine was indexing
the whole web through hundreds of servers. So you can imagine where
Google's power comes from..
