Go up one level in this thread

There are hideously slow implementations of some languages. But an interpreter
should never be more than a ballpark ten times slower than a compiler. If one
gets 1000 times the speedup by changing language or implementation something is
seriously broken. Gopher I believe was never implemented seriously. Haskell has
the same problems, but GHC is reasonably fast. And mature functional languages
are *not* slow. O'Caml and Scheme have seriously good compilers.
