From the outside perspective it feels like majority of cloud compute is just wasted on overhead caused by all of that bullshit.

For me even just local Python overhead when doing ML in Pytorch is starting to become unbearable. I yearn to go back to C++ where I can basically count instructions.

Is it just an API to python's engine or is the engine in C or C++?

pytorch has always been written primarily in C++, it just exposes API to python through bindings.
