Hello all! Awhile back, I did some simple perf analysis of Go versus C, in order to assess the long-term viability of Joker for executing Clojure-ish scripts: https://burleyarch.com/2018/09/08/performance-of-lispzerogo-vs-lispzero-c/ Hope it's helpful!
Thanks! This is an interesting experiment. I think Go should be fast enough to implement interpreters in. Usually performance is not very important for interpreters (compiled or JIT compiled languages are better suited for performance critical tasks). Raw performance is definitely not a priority for Joker, although startup time is.
