Serious wasn't a good choice of word, but I think you know what
I mean. 

e.g, what if I wanted to write an httpd daemon that could scale as
well as Apache (millions of hits/day)? Python would not be up to
the task. A language like CMUCL or OCaml would be, because they offer
a native code compiler.
