Or a Scheme system like PLT that uses JIT compilation (mzscheme), supports separate compilation for time critical sections (mzc), and has a foreign function interface for C++ and C. The big advantage? Rapid development. If Scheme isn't fast enough for some things, they can be written in C. I suspect there are few of those.
