> the same thing as 20 years ago, but worse

More like the same thing as 20 years ago, but the dominant language is a LIS.. I mean a Schem... I mean it's a bit like Self.. look, it has garbage collection, a JIT, supports objects and goes somewhat fast. Oh, and it's used to drive a GUI made up of stringly-typed ... things that kind of looks like SGML and has no chance in hell of achieving good draw performance. But you can calculate fibonacci in CSS and get even worse performance than doing it at compile-time with C++ templates!
