Here's a post you may find interesting from Benoit about a significant speed upgrade to the latest gambas that puts it ahead of python and others…

Hi,

Today is the Solemnity of Our Lady of the Rosary, so here is a little
gift: a big optimization of the interpreter in the last commit.

You can see the result on the wiki in the benchmark page:
/doc/benchmark - Gambas Documentation

Now Gambas beats the latest version of Python, Perl and OpenJDK Java in
all benchmark but one.

If someone could port the benchmarks to Ruby, maybe we would be able to
claim Gambas to be the fastest full-featured interpreter on the galaxy? :-)

Beware: this is fresh code, so you may encounter crashes. As usual,
report any problem.

Enjoy!

 I have played around with other languages and always end up coming back to Gambas.  It's simple, straight forward (Most of the time), and I can write the same kind of programs I could with the others with less effort.
