When processing 100GB of sensor data from a fleet of 10,000 IoT devices, a naive Python 3.13 pipeline can consume 4.2x more memory than a Mojo 0.8 equivalent, while PyPy 7.3 lands in the middle with 2.1x overhead compared to Mojo. For data engineering teams burning $10k+ monthly on cloud RAM, that difference isn’t academic—it’s a balance sheet line item.
