What's the performance like compared to Lua? Since Lua is the standard here, this feels like nonstarter unless the performance is similar, even with the friendlier python syntax.
- pasquinelli 4y agoto my mind the differences in syntax between python and lua are like two white, long-sleeved, button-up, collared shirts, but they have different buttons.

- aa-jv 4y ago.. while the python shirt has a huge gap that shows a nipple, and if you try to cover that nipple you're going to fall over.
- orangetuba 4y agoHAHA,good one!
- qbasic_forever 4y agoThe python shirt has a combo of buttons, zippers, Velcro, and drawstrings in different places and with a long history about why it's there and why it made sense at the time but no one would do it that way again.
- BlackFingolfin 4y agoDoesn't this apply to every mature and widely used language after a few years of evolution?

- sambeau 4y ago> In general, the current performance has not been specially optimized. I estimate that it is about 30% to 50% of the performance of CPython. > Because stack-based virtual machine is used, the performance is hard to reach Lua, where the latter is register-based. > With the optimizer in place, I think the performance of PkPy can reach 1-2 times that of CPython in the future. https://pocketpy.dev/performance/ https://pocketpy.dev/performance/
