A comment on A Python Interpreter Written in Rust. Parent comment
It's not remarkably slow as long as you compare apples to apples, that is non-jitted vm-interpreters.
Jits pay a steep complexity- (and hence maintenance) price for their performance that should be taken into account when comparing.
Designing a significantly faster interpreter with comparable features is non-trivial from my experience [0].
