In fact it may well be the fastest language - although it's hard to compete with the sheer number of man hours spent on C/C++ compilers.

- adgjlsfhk1 5y agowhile it isn't inherently slow, all the open source compilers are missing a lot of modern improvements. The default libm in particular is often a few times slower than those provided by Julia.
- teleforce 5y agoIt is not the compiler per se, it is mostly down to the design of the language itself. D language based numerical library has already beaten popular Fortran based numerical library OpenBLAS/Lapack for several years now [1].
