To be fair they only said it starts faster than V8, nothing was said on runtime performance

- speed_spread 4y agoThis is the same weak argument that's being used to sell native compilation on Java. Tons of graphics showing startup time improvement, never a word on what happens after. But the only cases where this metric makes a real difference are CLI utilities and Serverless (if you know others, please tell me)
- stolsvik 4y agoThat’s not true, as far as I've read. I feel it is spelled out pretty thoroughly: Startup time and memory footprint are way lower, but peak performance is also lower: JIT outperforms static compilation due to it having more information. There are some tools to gather such information by running the program for a while, gathering stats, but JIT still outperforms.
