Which implementations are you comparing J to? To my knowledge, all of APLs, K, J are interpreted. BQN is compiled, but still very new. I also know that Dyalog was experimenting on a byte code compiler. I don't think there exists convincing benchmarks comparing those languages.
- eggy 5y agoYes, not clear on my part. I meant to other ML languages, not other array languages. It's amazing the speed you get from J as an interpreted language; it's been honed by a bunch of clever people over the last few decades.
