  1. …fast: benchmarks usually somewhere between C++ and Java, orders of magnitude better than Ruby. https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/blob/master/README.md
    comment by Doctor_Fegg · 2016-12-19 · in The Crystal Programming Language
  2. …performant, somewhere between C and Rust. I am still wondering why so few people use it. Benchmark: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks Nim vs Rust: http://arthurtw.github.io/2015/01/12/quick-comparison-nim-vs... Performance discussion:…

  3. There's some benches between various languages, including Crystal as well, for those interested https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks EDIT: There's also this: https://github.com/nsf/pnoise

  6. …In fact, the core libraries (phobos) are being actively rewritten to remove GC altogether. [1]: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks#json

  10. Thanks! I need to get back into writing on it. I just pushed up a rust pull parser version here: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/pull/54 . Is that what you were thinking of?

  11. …as equivalent to RapidJSON on my Mac, but for some reason Kostya couldn't replicate it: O https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/pull/44 I'm guessing gcc just has some optimizations llvm doesn't. Rust does have some experimental SIMD, but…

  12. …code [1] (very readable) is reading an array of structs containing x,y,z from 'coordinates'. [1] https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/blob/master/json/test_f... I haven't read the code but the algorithm would look at this roughly like: See…

  13. …by then fastest JSON parser, RapidJSON. The result can be seen in the benchmark results right now: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks#json fast: 0.34s, 226.7Mb (GDC) RapidJSON: 0.79s, 687.1Mb (GCC)"

  14. On another note, I see Scala is doing really poorly in the JSON benchmark test: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks#json

  19. All the languages couldn't fit in the talk, but the full benchmarks are here: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks As always, take benchmarks with a graint of salt. We use benchmarks mostly to know how far away we are from C (1x, 10x,…

  20. As always, take benchmarks with a grain of salt: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/pull/26 Or this discussion (which is two months old, so unsure what exactly has changed since. Looking at commits, not much?)…

  21. …than Go do? then Nim - http://nim-lang.org will do just fine. Anecdotal benchmarks like this one https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks will show you that Nim comes out at the top (so does Crystal for some, FWIW).

  22. …that the optimizations are in the same ballpark as Go and D, which is really impressive. [0]: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks
    comment by espadrine · 2015-06-06 · in Crystal Language
  23. I've been looking at the benchmarks https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks and am pleasantly surprised about the speed. It definitely smokes Ruby, but also is usually faster than Go. I know that all benchmarks are relative but Crystal seems…

  24. Yes. There are some here: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks Here's another one: https://github.com/nsf/pnoise And then in the samples directory ( https://github.com/manastech/crystal/tree/master/samples ) there are some more but without…
