Just for reference, if I decide to port this over to another language later on:

Requirements:

performant on Raspberry Pi
supports OOP (not strictly needed; but will make a lot of things much simpler)
has well-built/-maintained libraries for the following
- web server
- async processing
- Spotify API
- ArtNet
- math functions (probably any language lol)

Candidates:

Java
- read somewhere that spinning up JVM has a lot of overhead, so might be annoying to work with
C++
- I forgot everything about this language

Plan

try Cython

if that doesn't work out...

compile final list of language candidates
run some performance tests on Raspberry Pi
- a simple bare bones script displaying a simple album cover over ArtNet
- maybe explore other protocols for better performance?
make a decision
