The purpose of this paper is to describe a computer user's concern about what extensible languages will do for him, and how they will do it. It may in some respects sound a little demagogic, by considering users requirements as priority requirements. However, as Lenin said, “facts are stubborn”, and if users have been used to certain performance characteristics of usual programming languages, they will want to get at least the same performance from extensible languages, and in fact much more - otherwise why switch?
