Ritchie's Revenge: And this half is still faster than Common Lisp.

  Only when adding UB exploits done by optimizing compiler backends. I am old enough to remeber the days any junior Assembly programmer could easily outperform any machine code generated by the C compilers of the day.

  SBCL (the most popular Common Lisp implementation) is pretty darn fast, being comparable to Java, Go or OCaml. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/ https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/

    But still slow compared to a non-GC'd language. Walking over all the references of your program while its stopped is slow.
