Is LuaJIT really faster than every other JIT-ed dynamic languages?
- by Gabriel Cuvillier
According to the computer language benchmark game, the LuaJIT implementation seems to beat every other JIT-ed dynamic language (V8, Tracemonkey, PLT Scheme, Erlang HIPE) by an order of magnitude.
I know that these benchmarks are not representative (as they say: "Which programming language implementations have the fastest benchmark programs?"), but this is still really impressive.
In practice, is it really the case? Someone have tested that Lua implementation?
