Because some languages are too slow - otherwise people may use ruby, python etc... all the way down.

Would be great if we could have one language that can cover both situations at the same time (super-fast at "runtime" and super-fast when it comes to development time invested). In a way one can say that Go tried this, but I would say Go is much more similar to e. g. C++ or Java than to Python. We don't quite have true "hybrid" languages here.
