Rare to see Chez brought up, I've been increasingly integrating it into my own work recently. Its performance¹ and maturity of the runtime keep surprising me.
¹ Frequently on par or even better than LuaJIT, though it can take some work to get it there.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoThe power of luaJIT is that isn't doesn't take much work to get there. If you do normal things it ends up being very fast by default.
- arc-in-space 6y agoYeah, no, I agree. But my experience with it has also been that as soon as you start writing anything except simple code, its performance starts to suffer, while Chez handles complex abstractions more gracefully. So I suppose comparing them directly might be a bit unfair both ways.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoWhat kind of things end up being slow in LuaJIT?
- arc-in-space 6y agoCan't claim I remember much detail given how long I haven't worked with it. IIRC one of the issues had to do with tossing around anonymous functions inevitably causing it to give up on JITing and drop out into the interpreter
