What I meant: you can't get a language that performs at its best
without doing your homework. Ideal performance requires time and
money, no matter the tools. This doesn't mean I expect you to do
the same amount of work you have to do in C++.
Perhaps I expressed myself in a bad way, so here is a second try
at that: I expect only simpler games to run at ideal speed
without efforts. "Simple" here doesn't mean "generic 2D
platformer", it should be interpreted as "not cutting edge". If
you really need to squeeze every bit of performance, you can't
only rely on automation.
