The Computer Language Benchmarks Game

  Java, Scala and Go are slower than C but on the same order of magnitud. On the other hand, PHP, Python, and Ruby are an order of magnitude slower, and Perl is two orders of magnitude slower. Python and Ruby syntax is cool, but performance is taxed. My current choice remains Scala at the moment, as a balance in concisity/verbosity, performance beautyness y power.

    You make it sound like Java and Scala and Go are almost as fast as C/C++. The inference is that they are within spitting distance. But they are not. They are pretty take twice as long or longer. That's a long time to wait for something. Humans think of speed on a logarithmic scale.
