I can't think of a language/runtime that has actually gotten slower with time. The nearest I can really point to is the uptick in compile time that happens with languages like Rust/C++ every so often. That's not really a "language is slower" problem though.

rustc's trend the last twenty releases has been that the compiler is getting faster. I guess every dependency is slowly growing in size, offsetting this in your perception? The compiler benchmarks are of course held constant to be able to compare releases.
