Interesting idea. Are there any performance benchmarks that you've run and can share? I'd really like to get a sense for what kind of improvements you've seen for computationally heavy tasks vs. a language like Go or Python.

Still working on those. :) We definitely beat Python, and we're faster than Node.js and Java at startup time. Where we are in the spectrum from C to Ruby we don't exactly know yet. But we do expect to improve and get much much closer to C as we make improvements to our runtime, such as writing a JIT for the VM.
