This indicates that node (v8 js) is much faster than lua, contrary to what you just said:

As others have mentioned, luajit is a lot faster than lua:

As an aside, I see there a gitlab project for the benchmark game - but I was surprised there doesn't appear anyone has put together an automated, open, bring your own language/code/patches version? Maybe with some community voting (eg: prefer idiomatic vs max speed)?

Why haven't you? That's probably why no one else has :-)

Instead be surprised that someone has continued to push the benchmarks game along, and that people have continued to contribute programs gratis.

It's been on my todo-list over neat ideas for a while. I just assumed someone would've beaten me to it by now :)

I suspect it might have to do with resources - dedicating multiple cores to benchmarking isn't going to be easy to do for free. Might be feasible for low cost, though.

Probably thinking of LuaJIT, not measured by this benchmark

[Ruud-v-A → tasty_freeze]

Is that using the Lua interpreter, or LuaJIT?

That webpage says Lua 5.3.4 and seems like LuaJIT does not support Lua 5.3.4
