This indicates that node (v8 js) is much faster than lua, contrary to what you just said: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/faster/lu

  Probably thinking of LuaJIT, not measured by this benchmark

  Is that using the Lua interpreter, or LuaJIT?
  • igouy 8y ago
    That webpage says Lua 5.3.4 and seems like LuaJIT does not support Lua 5.3.4

  As others have mentioned, luajit is a lot faster than lua: http://luajit.org/performance_x86.html http://luajit.org/performance_x86.html As an aside, I see there a gitlab project for the benchmark game - but I was surprised there doesn't appear anyone has put together an automated, open, bring your own language/code/patches version? Maybe with some community voting (eg: prefer idiomatic vs max speed)? https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/...

    > …but I was surprised there doesn't appear anyone has put together… Why haven't you? That's probably why no one else has :-) Instead be surprised that someone has continued to push the benchmarks game along, and that people have continued to contribute programs gratis.

      It's been on my todo-list over neat ideas for a while. I just assumed someone would've beaten me to it by now :) I suspect it might have to do with resources - dedicating multiple cores to benchmarking isn't going to be easy to do for free. Might be feasible for low cost, though.
