+1 for python plugin runner. Yes, WASM has advantages in performance, but I think one more choice is a good thing.
I started writing Python more than ten years ago. For Python engineers, performance is not the first. Easy to learn is its biggest advantage. >From this perspective, giving Python engineers an opportunity to participate in the Apache APISIX community is also a means to diversify the community. As for whether there are enough people to maintain the python plugin runner, I don't know. But we also have the retirement mechanism, which will not harm the community.
