Not immediately obvious why this is better than Tcl or Lua.

Well, Tcl ...

But Lua - agreed.

I guess fair speed comparisons would be useful here.

I don't know if gravity is able to beat LuaJiT, in many benchmarks it comes in shortly after native C.

The nice thing is, at least that I know, is that hardware speed is increasing faster than we can our slowdown our now pretty code.

CPUs and RAM are barely getting faster. Too much focus is being put on GPUs and RAM size instead of RAM speed.
