How performant janet is? Say, comparing with lua,luajit,python,javascript(v8)? I think if janet's performance is kinda on par with luajit, then people would seriously consider this as a scripting language for game project. |

Janet is not marketed as a fast language, but I do think the author is under-selling it somewhat. In my experience Janet is faster than Python, but not quite as fast as PyPy. I suspect the same is probably true for Lua / LuaJIT. |

FWIW, @MikeBeller put this together some time back. Not sure what the status is these days. |

I would like to know what has changed after the year the repository was touched, especially with some of the @primo-ppcg's optimizations. BTW thanks a lot for them; I am impressed by the volume of thought you are paying to the details of the inner workings of Janet. I wish I could be that good too :-). |

I appreciate the compliment!
I'd be interested to see that too. Perhaps I'll make an io page for it, comparing Janet 1.26 - 1.30 against Python and Lua. |
