... at the cost of a huge runtime performance penalty.


A similar claim was made by the developers of :
- C++ ,
- Objective C ,

namely:
- some degree of backwards compatibility with C
- with an added object model on top of C.

and also, although in a different way, by the Python people, like:
- "Python will run as fast as C ...  as long as you implement the
required methods in C" and bind them to Python (manually or using SWIG
...)

However the runtime performance penalty appears to be much less in all
those cases.
