Nice to know it!

I still don't have time to polish my guile-lua-rebirth. Anyway, it's really good news to see the transpiler has a good performance on Guile.!

Best regards.

Hi,

Yesterday, Andy committed new code to the compiler, some of which concerned skipping some arity checking.

Also, Stefan meanwhile committed something called "reworked object system" to his python-on-guile.

Sorry for coming with unspecific information (don't have time to track down the details) but I noticed that my benchmark script written in Python, and which computes the 20:th Ramanujan number, now runs 60% faster than before these changes.

This means that python-on-guile running on guile3 master executes python code only 2.6 times slower than the CPython python3 interpreter itself. :-)

Have a nice weekend all,

Mikael
