I guess it beats by far any other listed language we can use for building compilers. Correct me if I'm wrong, it is a nice day for learning something new.
CPython is written in C but PyPy is written in RPython (*). PyPy is
about 5 times faster than CPython on most of the performance benchmarks
CPython has.
Wasn't the latest Perl initially written in Haskell?
(*) RPython is a subset of Python which allows for the creation of
native code executables of interpreters, compilers, etc. that are
provably faster than hand written C. http://pypy.org/
