I always thought that SBCL was considered high performance and for example Chicken Scheme compiles to C. Both might be slower than Rust but I always had the impression both of these were more performant than say Java, but I haven't used either in a meaningful way to really know how it would rate for your performance needs.

- ska 7y agoSBCL is quite fast for a lot of things. I used to use it frequently for research projects that required performant code, and it generally wasn't to difficult to get within a factor of 2 of c code, though getting much closer could be hard. I haven't really kept up with it recently, but it regularly impressed me at the time.
