In addition to the other replies, the comparatively long startup time makes it unsuitable for short scripts, and with a few dependencies it becomes unsuitable for even medium length programs. The startup time is always coming down and there are ways to compile dependencies ahead of time though. The JIT compilation can be annoying for real-time applications too.
