When comparing speed I use simple tests like a loop printing an incremented line number or reading from stdin and printing to stdout. These simple tests are useful for me because, when combined with pattern matching or regular expressions, simple I/O tasks like these are actually what I use a "memory safe" language for dino is slightly faster than lua (not luajit) but spitbol is actually faster than lua, dino and luajit ngn k is slightly faster than spitbol but lacks built-in pattern matching or RE FWIW, I do not use a terminal emulator. I only use textmode No graphics layer. No "desktop"
