And they've invested a lot in the tooling and environment. It's not like they're just running a stock gcc toolchain; they've put a lot of very smart people on very hard problems in the language space.

Agreed. And another problem is that all these interpreted languages are terrible at exploiting parallelism which is a problem as we get more processor cores.

They were able to solve this in C by inventing Blocks and GCD.
