PyPy is a counterexample: it's a JIT compiler for Python, pretty efficient. Compiling dynamic languages is not easy: their semantics of having everything dynamic and changeable at runtime resists it. Python is internally compiled into a pretty compact bytecode, but something like a method call is much more involved business in Python than even in C++, and is many times slower. WRT fundamentalism: most sane open source communities are pretty pragmatic; Python's in particular. |
