- nooorofe 4y agono sure it is relevant, probably all heavy lifting done in C++ and Rust https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=render&path=&case=false®exp=false https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=render&path=&...
- makeitdouble 4y agoThe phrasing was poor, but I had in mind a whole engine or stack, and not just a language in isolation. Basically benchmarks like these: https://medium.com/deno-the-complete-reference/deno-v-s-go-hello-world-performance-comparison-b15c2c7f5ad https://medium.com/deno-the-complete-reference/deno-v-s-go-h... https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/typescript-vs-kotlin https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/typescrip... To note, the first link has a follow-up with Go properly getting faster than deno when fitted with a better http server. Which is kinda my point: the tooling available and level of optimizations can easily have more impact than the language's inherent speed.
