Only when they removed LuaJIT from the shootout, it is dynamic and fast (it was around where Java is in the benchmarks).

- thebluesky 14y agoThe LuaJIT performance is pretty impressive for a dynamically typed language, but it's hard to deny the fact that mainstream dynamically typed languages our outperformed by their static counterparts.
- justincormack 14y agoThats partly because they were not designed for performance. Lua of course was as it was designed partly for slow small systems. But pypy is getting on pretty well too and javascript, showing what you can do even if not designed for performance.
