Thanks! Whatever this is far faster than I've seen in other non-compiled languages. If it holds up like this I might actually use it for small projects in the future!
- rurban 5y agoChez is comparable to v8 in speed
- eurasiantiger 5y agoOP could port the code to Node.js to see if that holds.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoIf it’s running in Chez, it’s probably compiled: chez, sbcl and other lisps often compile everything before executing it.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y ago> Chez Scheme compiles source forms as it sees them to machine code before evaluating them, i.e., "just in time." https://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/csug9.5/use.html https://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/csug9.5/use.html There is no such thing as a “compiled language”: some languages are implemented as compilers and some as interpreters, but nothing prevents writing a compiler for most languages.
- dTal 5y agoWhile this is technically true, it's possible for a language to be so mismatched to the underlying architecture, and so difficult to reason about, that the "compiled" version is not much better than an interpreter bundled with the source code.
