Agree. Look at how well mercurial turned out compared to git, and it is
written in such a slow language.
The high level language allows you to concentrate on the algorithms
which is where the performance comes from.
However, in the kernel space the main problems the people are spending
their time with are rarely related to the language.
If you're using a more productive language, you get more things done, in
userspace and in the kernel.
