How long do most of these take to parse/compile each time you run them? I’m guessing this doesn’t cache compiled artefacts. If the language has a mode to interpret it without compilation (trading runtime speed for compilation overhead) it may make sense, but if not, certainly the Scala and Haskell examples would be agonisingly slow.
Can’t speak for most of these ecosystems, but uv (for python) does cache the dependencies per version on user level, so it’s def not slower than python is in general, post first run
Kscript catches dependencies and compiled output. First run compiles, second is fast.
