With this and https://github.com/Beariish/bolt/blob/main/doc/Bolt%20Perfor..., it is indeed confusing without testing it out myself.
That said, somehow I do not believe it is faster than LuaJIT. We will see.
I used brainfuck interpreter https://github.com/Beariish/bolt/blob/main/examples/bf.bolt vs lua / luajit implementations from https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks
Just checked with nbody:
- still 10 times slower than luajit - 2 times slower than luajit -joff - but 20% faster than lua 5.4 - but uses 47 Mb RAM vs 2.5 Mb for lua/luajit
