Never thought about it this way but you're right. I could very well write an interpreter for C that's slow as molasses and I'd be willing to be that no one will try it and say "C is slow."

It doesn't seem like languages that are already interpreted get that courtesy, though. V8 isn't the only JS engine, after all.
