In this context, if we'd been really smart-lazy in CPython development, we'd have kept the memory and startup-time and...well, we probably do pretty well on CPU actually...smaller, so that when smartphones came along Python would have been the first high level language used on them, because it fit. Then we'd all be able to be much lazier now :)

Even on desktop, startup time leaves a lot to be desired.
