Half the speed of native, but you're not comparing apples to apples. This slower code is also run in an environment where it's safe to download a random blob from the internet and just start running. This comes at some cost.

Also, I think the argument that "slow" isnt moving us forward is just not thinking the issue entirely through. Most people writing code today would not be if not for slower (and more human understandable) languages.

Why dont we just remove all keys from a developer's device besides 0s and 1s so they can program in the fastest computer language!
