I was first disappointed ... then amazed! Disapointed because the author's link to the benchmark website lead me to the wrong impression that Lua would be almost 30 times slower than Java 7. Then I googled around and discovered the awesome LuaJit which seems to be able to compete even with C++ in performance. What I really like is Lua's code density (see samples in the Shootout's benchmarks). Very impressive! http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all... As an old LISPer and Schemer I would like to know if Lua Macros are really as expressive and powerful as Lisp macros. Some people claim this but I am not convinced (I would like to be convinced). The expressive power may be theoretically equivalent but this is also true for C and Assembler :-) The question is: Are Lua macros as easy to handle as Lisp and Scheme macros? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/323346/what-can-lisp-do-t... |
