Let me guess: Python makes it easier to scale the application on
the "features" axis, and the approach to large-scale computation
taken by google makes Python's poor raw performance not so big
an issue, so it doesn't prevent the application from scaling
on the "load" and "amount of data" axes. I also guess that python
is often used to control simple, fast C/C++ programs, or even
to generate such programs.
