And now thanks to the JIT patch elisp outperforms Guile considerably. Emacs dev is very much motivated by pragmatism, jokes about Emacs being a tool created to write Emacs config notwithstanding.
- gjvc 3y agoI think of emacs as a lisp machine with an editor attached.
- davexunit 3y agoYou sure about that? Guile also has a JIT compiler these days and I don't know of any benchmarks comparing the two in a meaningful way.
- anthk 3y agoNo, Guile got a JIT too and elisp is not that fast. I mean, I'm sure I could write a fast enough GB emulator with Guile. Not with Elisp, even with the XCB or XLIB bindings for Elisp/Emacs.
