This is besides the point. Judging platforms using trivial benchmarks is utterly useless.
Also, I think they shouldn't have made it the third sentence anyone reads about their project.
- buster 14y agoYes and i was seeing the first comment to emerge here that went "uh yeah, lua is sooo fast and lean, the software will be soo fast as well" which may just be not true at all :P
- philips 14y agoThe speed claim should probably be replaced with memory numbers. We are using luvit on a project because it uses much less memory than node.js and yet allows the team to use a familiar programming model. Right now our project weighs in at about 4.5 MB RSS with statically linked in openssl. :)
- jacques_chester 14y agoIf you're just using OpenSSL for primitives, look at PolarSSL. I, a total newb, managed to wrap the SHA functions without too much fuss before I moved on (long story). https://github.com/jchester/lua-polarssl https://github.com/jchester/lua-polarssl
- ksec 14y agoComparatively how much memory was Node.js using?
- philips 14y ago28MB - 35MB depending on the GC cycle IIRC.
