Is there a production JIT for a compiled language that is actually faster? I understand the theory, I don't think the practice backs it up.

- fragmede 1y agoDepends, what do you consider Java?
- varjag 1y agoJava is certainly not the fastest language out there.
- pcwalton 1y agoSure, but the relevant comparison isn't between languages: it's between a state-of-the-art JIT implementation of one language and a likewise-state-of-the-art AOT implementation of the same language. Unfortunately there aren't many examples of this; most languages have a preferred implementation strategy that receives much more effort than the other one.
- pcwalton 1y agoI believe HotSpot is usually faster than GCJ.
