The generated code is pretty hilarious since you end up with HashMaps and dynamic dispatch everywhere.
Much better gains can be made by simply not using Python.
- pjmlp 5y agoI learned that lesson with Tcl back in my first startup experience. Sure the language is great, and it is very easy to write extensions in C, however as the performance pressure keeps increasing, in the end it is a C application where Tcl was reduced to a configuration/orchestration language. Since then, if it doesn't have a JIT or AOT compiler in the box I am not interested, unless I am obliged to do so by higher levels.
