Yes, certainly seems to be the case now.

development - not traditionally a newbie coder area - when in that

application

speed really is essential. Yes it generally calls libraries written in C/C++
but then why not just write the higher level code in C++ too?

When you're dealing with something as complicated and frankly ineffable as
an AI model I doubt syntactic quirks of the programming language matter that
much in comparison. Surely you'd want the fastest implementation possible and
in this case it would be C++.
