I am considering "switch" to be just a type of function, so I am not including it in my language
As far as performance, it's as fast as you can get using my compiler (PoprC). The generated C code from the equivalent Fibonacci function is:

Programming languages without dynamic memory allocation?
Verilog, VHDL, and other hardware description languages, because you’re limited to the physically connected memory. Popr can be used as an HDL, so it also must work without dynamic allocation.

Integer bound inference
I use range inference in PoprC. For example, try:

Benefits of writing compilers in C as opposed to C++
If you'd like to see what a compiler written in C without* malloc and free looks like, check out PoprC. If you like how it is written, you can use Startle licensed under the APL2, which provides the general use data types and utility functions I've needed so far.
