You're being inaccurate yourself :-) You say "Smalltalk is a dynamic language that relies on a virtual machine interpreter. ", but it /doesn't/! There is an Interpreter available and its slow. But there are also lots of JIT VMs and these are not any where near as slow as Python interpreters. So please can you come up with a more3 accurate less negative statement?
