The most impressive result here is Lua -- not far behind C! LuaJIT is amazing.

Good to see a few languages like Nim and Rust actually beating C for raw performance, too.

Am I reading it wrong or did LuaJIT take 113x as long as C?

[ddlutz]

It sure looks that slow to me.

[iainmerrick]

Ha, you’re right, I totally misread it! I read it as seconds and not minutes, doh. :)

[Narishma]

You should look again. Lua seems to be the slowest of the bunch.

[iainmerrick]

Whoops, yes, you’re right!

Now I’m tempted to try speeding it up, there’s no way it should be behind Python...

[w0utert]

I haven’t checked the code, but I’m also hugely surprised Lua did so poorly. Even the default non-JIT interpreter should be way faster than Python.

Sarcasm?

Unfortunately for me, Hanlon’s Razor applies.
