For an interpreter (you know what I mean), when I used Perl it was fast
as hell. You'd need to go to Lua or Luajit to get a faster
"interpreter".
One of the first things I do when writing software is figure what the
bottleneck is. If the bottleneck is the user's molassas slow 140 word
per minute typing, I'll use an interpreter every time so I'm not the
guy doing allocation and garbage collection and bounds checking.
