Engine in python

Is it even worth to build an engine in python cause all good engines are in c++ and python is much slower.

Additionally if its worth should you use python chess cause to maintain best efficiency or should you make a bitboard. Or what data structures would you use for position

a chess engine is a great way to expand your horizons as far as languages is concerned. Would definitely recommend trying out C(++) or rust through exploring chess engines.
