This seems to conflate different things. Interpreted is not a problem from the predictable behaviour point of view. You may get less absolute performance. Though with Python you can do the heavy lifting in numpy etc which are in native code. And this is what is done here, see eg https://github.com/gpasquero/voog/blob/main/synth/dsp/envelo... Languages that have garbage collection: not going to rehash the standard back-and-forth here, suffice it to say that the devil is in the details.
In Show HN: VOOG – Moog-style polyphonic synthesizer in Python with tkinter GUI

Show HN: VOOG – Moog-style polyphonic synthesizer in Python with tkinter GUI

Body: I built a polyphonic synthesizer in Python with a tkinter GUI styled after the Moog Subsequent 37. Features: 3 oscillators, Moog ladder filter (24dB/oct), dual ADSR envelopes, LFO, glide, noise generator, 4 multitimbral channels, 19 presets, rotary knob GUI, virtual keyboard with mouse + QWERTY input, and MIDI support. No external GUI frameworks — just tkinter, numpy, and sounddevice.
