The consultancy Nodes reports that their framework Vapor[0] that is written in Swift is "around 100 times faster" than other frameworks written in PHP, Ruby and Python, you can see his bold claim 4 minutes in here: https://vimeo.com/193549098 https://vimeo.com/193549098, but of course no benchmarks have been presented.

- thehardsphere 10y agoEven assuming it's true, that's not an impressive claim. Frameworks in those three languages are not known for their speediness. If they claimed 1000 times, maybe that would be something worth sitting up to take notice.
- coldtea 10y agoBecause having 100 less resources with similarly convenient language is something to sneer at...
- thehardsphere 10y agoWhen there are at least 4 such languages/runtime implementations that exist already and have more libraries that also "have 100 less resources" then, yes, that one claim is a lot less special.
- always_good 10y agoI'm not sure how Vapor is ready for production. Try its hello world locally and then bench it with `wrk`. You'll get a lot of failed requests with a concurrency > 1. (I didn't test concurrency = 1)
- floatboth 10y agoPretty much anything that compiles to good native code can be 100 times faster than "frameworks written in PHP, Ruby and Python". At least if we're talking MRI/CRuby and CPython, and especially without running multiple workers in those languages.
- mahyarm 10y agoThey really should be comparing against golang and java.
