You may want to write that, but why would someone want to use a database that could be 50x faster if it was written in a native language? If you write software for yourself in a slow scripting language, that is one thing, but it leaves a huge amount of performance on the table.

This is the same as the problem with electron. People that only know javascript might think it is great to embed a full web browser, but it is selfish to users to push something that they think will run at a normal speed only to have it use 100x the memory and lag during simple operations.

The transpiler could in theory generate code in the native language. You can see for yourself:

Look up Nubank and Datomic. You'll have an aneurysm.

(Edit: to be clear, I'm agreeing with you)
