I can list compilers (just as well as you can) on various machines for either language that are as slow as or as fast as you want. Although a lot of the suggestions in the original Improving C do not reflect the flavor of the language, many of them would be quite useful. I personally would kill for built-in type checking and array bounds checking during the debugging phase of my programs. They could be removed after the program reached production quality....
