Why interpret at all? Back in the mid to early 90's I started embedding C++ compilers into the game engines I wrote, where the "game scripting language" was just #define macros hiding the C++ syntax so the game level developers, who worked in this script, could be basically anyone that could code. Their "script" would compile to a DLL that was hot loaded. What they were doing in their scripts would compile in under 5 seconds, and they were good to go. If they ran into problems, one of the game engine developers would just run their "script" in the IDE debugger.
Borrowed this idea from Nothing Real, the developers of Shake, the video/film compositing system.
