So if one was "Prototyping a Real-Time Embedded System in Smalltalk" one might 'improve frequently invoked methods by recoding, possibly as “primitive” functions in a lower level language such as C or assembler'. https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/74878.74904 https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/74878.74904

CPython is up to date with one specific Smalltalk implementation in 1987, when an ESP32 has better hardware resources than those systems, what a great achievement!
