Me too.
Do you wish to suggest that Smalltalk implementations had "C performance" ?
Do you wish to suggest that some Smalltalk programs should still be a little faster than corresponding Ruby +YJIT programs ? (But then NodeJS.)
Do you wish to suggest that Ruby +YJIT programs should be faster than corresponding CPython programs ?
- eigenspace 3y agoThat person seems to just think that so long as the JIT is kinda fast, it's good enough. But that's really not the world we live in most of the time, especially if using that JIT broke binary compatibility with existing fast libraries.
- pjmlp 3y agoI suggest that any JIT implementation will be faster than CPython default install, including the old ones at Xerox PARC, Genera and TI. Calling out to C libraries doesn't count for CPython performance, that is C code, not Python, and any language with FFI can call into C libraries.
- igouy 3y agoIn context, something like: Julia won't take over because someone will make a sufficiently performant JIT for Python ? (Name dropping ancient language implementations was confusing to me, and I'm ancient.)
