We write in high-level languages for a reason. There’s no reason to stunt their

I do understand that attitude of staying on top of a platform and in the "high levels" of a high level language. Exactly for those reasons some have written that pityful subroutine called "eval" and others even maintain it from time to time - just to not get your feets wet ;-) if not for a very good reason.
