A strongly typed programming language. Interpreted and compiled. Performance in the ballpark of C. Memory-safe since decades. I feel embarrased to admit that I had been totally unaware of Seed7 until mere two months ago.

I have heard way too many “performance in the ballpark of C”, most of the time it means in some cherry-picked example it is slightly slower than C, and most program is 20-50 times slower.
The language design honestly remind me of the old PHP: uses hashtable and array as primitive data structures, and free memory at the end of a function to achieve memory safety.
It seems quite unbelievable to me that it is gonna have C-like performance, since hashtable is usually quite slow compared to even heap access (direct stack allocation, of course, is the fastest); but I would be happy to be proven wrong.
