Interesting, thanks. Do you plan speed/performance comparisons as a scripting / pluign language? That would be relevant for games or graphics intense usecases—blackjack-rs considered scheme/lisp but opted for mlua due to performance)

Here are some benchmarks: https://github.com/raviqqe/stak/actions/runs/12654408322/job...

For pure computational work, Stak is 2 to 2.5 slower than CPython. These are E2E benchmarks for the interpreter commands. As you said, I should probably add benchmarks of scripting use cases with Lua.

That's very promising! It might be benefitial adding these to the front page. I will keep an eye on the project, thanks
