I watched the video, those benchmarks are just terrible. If one wants to use LuaJIT for a porject, sure go for it, but making up weird benchmarks like that which purposefully cripple competitor language performance is just embarrassing.
- Rochus 7y agoWell, weird benchmarks are probably all those where your favorite language doesn't look good ;-)
- eigenspace 7y agoI would say in this case what's 'weird' about the benchmarks is that the optimization strategy taken across the languages is incredibly uneven. Indeed, simply wrapping the above julia code in a `let` block so it's not out in the global scope is sufficient to have it on par with C++ (assuming the same flags are used, e.g. fastmath).
