babashka also has a performance non-goal

• chitowneats 5y ago
  Ah. You are correct.
• didibus 5y ago
  That's true, but in my poor man tests, Babashka was in the ballpark of Python for me.
  • chitowneats 5y ago
    I was surprised when I realized I had overlooked the performance non-goal considering how fast it has been in my limited experience.
    • didibus 5y ago
      Ya, it even supports multi-core programming, so I bet for some use case it can outperform Python by parallelizing.

  The performance non-goal is there to lower expectations compared to compiled Clojure. Babashka's author (me) does try to make it as fast as possible within the constraints it's implemented in.
