Re: Speed comparison

[Supratik Champati <champati@...>]

I have personally tested  lua, perl, python, tcl by writing
similar scripts. I found lua to be much faster (sorry cannot quantify
!!).
But the thing that really made me embrace lua is the sheer elegance
of the language.
Although relatively new, it is a very stable code.
The source code is still < 10k lines (compare with 60k+ lines for
perl/python).
I do not think going with lua can be a bad choice any which way one
looks at it.
But again this is just my opinion..
