D as a Better C

Javascript is also high-level interpreted language, but it's much faster than Python. Python is pretty hard to optimize in a JIT (and it gets much less attention than Javascript).

True, but it's also miles behind C/C++. While Python is arguably the slowest of the mainstream interpreted language, they're all orders of magnitude slower than C.

Hmmm. I kind of expect them to be 1 or 2x slower. Maybe even a single order of magnitude... But Python seems often to be 100 or 1000x slower. For my applications this is kind of unfortunate.
