No static typing. Using JS its you having the choice because many compilers compile down to JS. I'm pretty sure that JS is faster due to jitting. I haven't done benchmarking - but its incredible what those engines do today.
About python/ruby: Vim does not even ship a 'Quote string for VimL' function. Its you having to write it using vim.execute and pythno/ruby's substitute commands. Can you create mappings and au commands in python/ruby? .. So if_* integrations do exist - but it could be a lot better. Besides: You just proofed my point: All of you did at least some JS :) I'm not sure its worth the effort - but as community we should think about it and raise the awareness that it could be different.
