Even when efficiency is critical, it is rarely (almost never) critical in such
a way that nearly every line of an application has to be rewritten in
something else.

(That does occurs when the efficiency is "infinitely bad": the application has
to run where that language is not available, and for some extraordinary
reasons, it is easier to rewrite the application than to port the language
implementation.)
