Agreed. Anytime anyone starts talking about speed and languages, I roll my eyes. Seriously, unless you are a developer and have actually run code through a profiler to know what areas are running "slow", you are not qualified to make such statements. If you *have* run the code through a profiler and can prove that a majority of time is spent inside a language construct and not on I/O or a bad algorithm, then you are qualified... to submit a bug report to the language developers so they can fix it. Anything else is just bogus.
