  1. …with the two C++ implementations you measured. The Are-we-fast-yet suite includes guidelines (see https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/blob/master/docs/gu... ) for this purpose which must be followed by new implementations, and which…
  2. …added a C++ implementation, but it was significantly slower than mine when I check last time (see https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/issues/80 ). I mostly use the benchmarks to check how my compilers do compared to the big ones, or…
  3. …times as fast. The guidelines of the benchmark are pretty strict to enable fair comparisons (see https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/blob/master/docs/gu... ).
  4. …are e.g. some measurements where the programmer used C++11 and did everything with smart pointers: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/issues/80#issuecomm... . There was a speed down between factor 2 and 10 compared with the bare-bone…
  5. …Stefan Marr for his most recent measurement results, and he was so friendly to post some reports: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/issues/85 . As it seems the Graal/Truffle based implementation of SOM (a Smalltalk dialect) is now…
  6. …for SOMns (SOM modified to run Newspeak, using Truffle for compilation) which outperforms Node < https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/blob/master/docs/pe... >. > Otherwise it's very difficult because a block is just an object and…
  7. …to measure different algorithms. Unfortunately there is no Python or C++ implementation yet for https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet .

  9. …by all benchmark implementations. Such a set of rules is e.g. given for the Are-we-fast-yet suite ( https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet ).

    Ask HN: Is it true that CoreCLR is that much faster than Mono?

  11. …faster than MRI Ruby 3 JIT. Here are some other performance results using the same benchmark suite: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/blob/master/docs/pe... . Also TruffleRuby is reported to perform much better than MRI Ruby JIT…

  12. I did some measurements recently with 3.0.0 RC1 compared to 2.1.0 based on https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet . Here are the results: http://software.rochus-keller.ch/are-we-fast-yet_crystal_rub... . Ruby 3.0 without JIT is factor…

  13. …about the benchmark suite: https://stefan-marr.de/papers/dls-marr-et-al-cross-language-... and https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet . In contrast to other benchmarks the focus is on ideomatic language use and representative results…

  15. https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet It is not about optimal performance. Ruby, or specifically MRI here, is anywhere between 20-100x slower. And there are other dynamic languages that is much faster then Ruby. If Ruby is only 2-10x…

  16. …you just want to play a game. JRuby+Truffle's performance is not bad compared to other languages: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet#current-status
  17. A few of the smaller benchmarks have been ported to C++ already: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/tree/wip/cpp/benchm... But the bigger ones are not yet (so, no results yet). One of the important questions to answer first is how…
