  • Is speed of the (main/only viable) implementation of an interpreted programming language a criteria today?

  • What would be the optimal balance between speed and abstraction?

  • Should scripting languages completely ignore all thoughts about performance and just follow the concepts of rapid development, readability, etc.?

I'm asking this because I'm currently designing some experimental languages and interpreters
