If we want compiled code, we already have C and C++.  What we need is an
interpreted language with good libraries so people can write scripts and
one-liners without having to jump through too many hoops and worry about
quoting.  The result may not be as fast as a compiled program, but it
will be much faster than a shell script and take less time to write than
either C or shell.
