Sure, but a complex application is just made of many simpler modules - which can in turn be written in any language, and not necessarily the same.

Projects like OpenRA, Openlara, GemRB, Dune Legacy, Settlers BTTR, VCMI etc. etc. are potential games which might at some point appear on Amiga. Doesn't mean it all is fast or bugfree.

Well, most ports at least are slow.
Of course, they weren't very fast on the PC to start with, i.e. they often required a higher configuration than ought to be.

This is the only advantage i can see for compiled code.
As it does not help that much in later handling the code : rewriting C into asm isn't an easy task but the problem does not come from writing the asm : it comes from understanding what is that ***** original code doing ! Well, of course good C is easier to handle than bad C, but nevertheless.
