Isn't that what Python is? Except C and not C++.

No, because you wouldn't have to pay the virtual machine overhead (among others). Another possibility would be using Cython - write the prototype in pure Python, then Cythonize the parts which need to run more quickly.

There are some new competitors for Cython. The article mentions Numba, which I've been pleased with, and mypyc, which I haven't tried yet.
