  (2019) https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.09056 https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.09056 2022, two comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33054931 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33054931 2019, 172 comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19023413 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19023413 Given that this paper is from so long ago, running new benchmarks on existing runtimes would be productive. https://mastodon.world/@cfallin/109833747279454645 https://mastodon.world/@cfallin/109833747279454645 mentions https://github.com/bytecodealliance/sightglass https://github.com/bytecodealliance/sightglass https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jangda https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jangda https://www.usenix.org/sites/default/files/conference/protected-files/atc19_slides_lt_jangda.pdf https://www.usenix.org/sites/default/files/conference/protec...

  A lot has changed since this was published, you can’t trust these numbers at all.

    True, that's from 2019. While benchmarks are rare, some actually claim near native speed
    • solarkraft 1y ago
      To be fair these (and similar) claims were already made when WASM was new.

  Being within the same order of magnitude is pretty impressive IMO, especially before 6 years' worth of performance improvements.
