I didn't say it's just "slow". I said it's an expected performance hit in comparison with languages like C++. In some cases that hit is tolerable, in others not.
Right, but even what you said isn't really within shouting distance of reality.
Certainly, many naive people would expect such a performance hit; personally, I'd strongly expect that the actual performance is predicated on the architecture and the expertise of the teams involved and that any differences between the languages become either apples to oranges or noise.
I'd expect an actual performance comparison to be sure, rather than relying on expertise of the teams for assuming it. As much as any claim that difference between languages becomes irrelevant with advancement of the hardware, it still can be relevant in different cases.
