Anybody who looks at this results and says :
" Jeez Lua is so inefficient, I won't use it "
I am glad they go and use C.
Lua was never designed to minimize energy usage, i do not see energy use mentioned anywhere on lua's wiki page.
I want a ranking of :
- embedding with C, Lua will beat every other language on this.
- compiler complexity, Lua will beat every other language on this.
If somebody creates a language that causes lua to lose on those front, I would agree that that would be the time to start freaking out, but for now Lua maintains a monopoly.
Its like somebody coming to me and asking them to help them do a cardiac bypass surgery - its not my job !
Lua excels in things it set as its goals. Many languages that set their goals to be something and never get to achieve it.
- "Java write once run everywhere" someone ??
