Well said. Also worth noting that most of the languages like CPython are very slow because many optimizations are now prohibitively difficult given the "easy C-interop" constraint.
- firethief 7y agoIsn't that more because the choice to support C interop by giving C access to interpreter internals, which is the easiest-implemented option but not the only way to get easy-to-use C interop.
