So if one was "Prototyping a Real-Time Embedded System in Smalltalk" one might 'improve frequently invoked methods by recoding, possibly as “primitive” functions in a lower level language such as C or assembler'.

CPython is up to date with one specific Smalltalk implementation in 1987, when an ESP32 has better hardware resources than those systems, what a great achievement!

One way Smalltalk was made a better fit for number crunching: primitives.
