Wasm doesn't yet have a GC. So, when you compile languages requiring GC like python or Go, they have to include that GC in the resulting wasm binary, their wasm GC implementation might not be as performant as native either. On the other hand languages like C or rust doesn't have this overhead. This makes wasm binaries from GC languages big in size and will affect their performance.
