Swift runs at the speed of C. It could be several orders of magnitude faster than ruby or python or node.

    But it is true? https://medium.com/@rymcol/benchmarks-for-the-top-server-side-swift-frameworks-vs-node-js-24460cfe0beb#.jrxb0nqcr https://medium.com/@rymcol/benchmarks-for-the-top-server-sid... Perfect (Swift) kills Node.js - which means it kills other stuff (like Ruby) without question. Python would be hard tho...

      Would be curious to see `perfect` on the techempower list.

    Interesting. Swift runs circles around Python, except Regex-DNA. Problems with string manipulations?

      Python and the other scripting languages' regex engine is PCRE (Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions, a very mature and highly-optimized C library), while Swift's is presumably written in Swift.
