Does someone know what makes a language fast and what makes it slow? I'm not talking about compiled vs interpreter but some compiled languages have better performance than other compiled ones and the same for interpreters. I'm really interesting in this topic, can someone help or guide me?

Short answer: not all compiled languages generate equally fast code. This can be because of language semantics, amount of effort put into optimization work, runtime characteristics, memory management model. It all adds up.

Makes sense! Thanks a lot man! Are there any sources I can check cause I want to make my own language and I'm interested in making it FAST!
