Performance-oriented implies a type of tradeoff made during design decisions - that tradeoff also means the language is weaker is certain ways than languages such as Javascript, Python, Ruby, etc.

Generally that would mean: - More static, less dynamic - No GC - Lighter abstractions - More directly conforms to hardware (even when it create a 'less clean' interface)

I'm guessing they were asking for some _specific_ features/techniques of Beef that contribute to achieving your design goal. The design goal itself is made very clear.

Not the author but a few I gathered from reading the docs:

- no exceptions

- mutable strings with optional pointer access

- no GC
