I don't have a PS3, though I suspect it's killerapp came and gone

Yes, most certainly. And I know being 5x slower than C ain't that
bad, it's just kind of a let down in this particular benchmark.

In small places, afaik.

FFI is nice for providing glue code to interface with native
libraries. Not really that much of an option for actual application
development, because you're not coding HighLevelLanguage nor C, but a
verbose mix of the 2 that sounds and reads lame. I'd rather just code
in C or be a little slower in HighLevelLanguage.
