Tracing compiler might add a bit of performance in the naive cases where the developers don't know how the JIT optimizes.
If I care about performance I'd check the generated assembly and modify accordingly till I get decent result.
Baring that: do you have any reputable source claiming LuaJIT outperforms C#/java/C?
- chc4 11y agoUnfortunately the Benchmarks Game seems to have removed LuaJIT in favor of Lua 5.3, but https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2588071/is-luajit-really-faster-than-every-other-jit-ed-dynamic-languages https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2588071/is-luajit-really... mentions it as being an order of magnitude faster. I've seen it said multiple times that LuaJIT is the gold standard of JITing, but can't find very many concrete benchmarks anymore.
- xxs 11y agoAnything saying 'order of magnitude' can't be taken seriously. That would imply a horrid baseline in order to get it that fast. Merely I don't believe a tracing JIT would have a great impact in a real world scenario.
