Weird choice of lifestyle to complain about the two fastest scripting languages being ‘fast-ish’. While you complain, the world is using Lua for embedded scripts and game programming, and PHP for the web.

People straight up write libraries in Lua instead of C, because the performance difference is unnoticeable. But apparently it's only ‘fastish’.
