On: Tiny JITs for a Faster FFI

[chefandy]

I see some people say this but I’ve never seen a benchmark support that if you include performance-focused distributions like pypy.

Is there somewhere with benchmarks that supports the idea that Ruby is faster than Python?

Because unfortunately PyPy is largely ignored by the community , despite their heroic efforts.

I’ve only seen a handful of people use it for local development but I’ve seen plenty of people use it for servers in production. Look like the latest cpython has a JIT built in. It would be cool if it saw the same gains that ruby did.

It is pretty much early days, you are supposed to compile your own CPython to enable it.

[pansa2 → chefandy]

Fair point, I was specifically referring to the CPython interpreter. I don’t know if there’s a benchmark that compares PyPy to JIT-compiled Ruby.

Looks the the one at that link does unless there's some newer versioning thing I'm not aware of. The top results seem to be comparing pypy 3.10.14 and ruby/yjit 3.4.1.
