Are there any performance benchmarks?

EDIT: The language looks pretty cool in general. I'm not a huge fan of the recursion syntax. In particular, the `this` keyword seems to just refer to the current function object, which is confusing since in other languages that usually refers to the object a method belongs to. Further, the choice of immutable lists as the default data structure is odd -- arrays would be much more performant (and are the usual choice for scripting languages anyway).

Given that there is no array built in type, and the closest thing (list) is a lisp style linked list, I wouldn't expect it to be speedy in any non-trivial benchmark (or real-world use) that requires random access.
