Its really hard to be slower than python, unless you are using ruby. Considering that the parent was asking about node, that is what I was looking at. While V8's performance is hugely impressive, it is still significantly slower than other languages.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say though? My point was that you have to develop expertise before you can create high performance programs. If you are considering dropping node because you need more performance, be careful.

That's what is surely not surprising to me, as I've measured the performance of V8 even before node.js existed, and already knew of enough examples that resulted in the code executed with the speed comparable to C. I don't consider any modern JavaScript JIT implementation to be "slow", neither V8, nor the one in Safari or in Firefox. Moreover, all of them have more than one level of achieving the speed -- they adapt to the needs of the code executed, they are really the works of art, and not an accidental development.
