Faster than what? I don’t see any mention of any kind of Lua in that table or in the page it mentions. It’d be awesome[1] if Graal could outdo LuaJIT on Lua, and I was initially excited to learn that it did, but I don’t see anything about that there.
[1] Or as awesome as it’s possible to be for something that Oracle evidently intends to patent to the gills, anyway.
You can e.g. use Node.js as a reference and compare with these results: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/blob/master/testcase.... LuaJIT with JIT on is usually factor two slower than Node.js and factor five slower than C/C++ in my measurements.
