I've been fighting to ban use of interpreted code in production because I hate slow stuff, and like money. So you can use those motivations instead if you like. If you love Python and Ruby, make compilation a first class method of running them.



When I looked at the results seems Swift and C# are pretty good general purpose languages. Interesting to see how bad Typescript compares to JavaScript.


Sadly those two are fairly tied to a specific platform (note: yes, I know they are technically cross-platform).


c# is extremely cross platform now


I think the current big deal is GUI support. Seems like they are carefully attacking the problem. If they succeed react is going to be for a world of hurt.


the performance ceiling of c# has gone up a lot since that data was collected too.


How certain are you that the savings will be relevant? Are you sure your bottleneck is computation?


It often is, but nobody seems to acknowledge it.


You can't just assert that without measuring.
