I see Lua was included, wish LuaJIT was as well.

I bet LuaJIT crushes Zef! Or rather, I would hope that it does, given how much more engineering went into it

There are many runtimes that I could have included but didn’t.

Also, it’s quite impressive how much faster PUC Lua is than QuickJS and Python

    Because QuickJS is really slow. Don't be fooled by the name. It's almost an order of magnitude slower than node/v8.

    (I suppose the quick in QuickJS means "quick for a pure interpreter without JIT compilation or something...)

      based on this data, it’s probably slower than JSC’s or V8’s interpreter

      So like that’s wild
