Thanks for the insight and link to http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org.
WRT dynamically typed languages, I have some 5 years experience with Python circa 2.4ish timeframe. I remember that a practical raw speed was not that bad, but still was in average like 10 times slower from C++. Good enough though. We used it along with Twisted to run some performance tests of certain closed source messaging system. I was okay until we started playing with threads/GIL. For obvious reasons it was very taxing and is not even remotely comparable with modern reactive kind of architectures and STM. I remember someone presented me how common lisp can disassemble compiled code in fly - very impressive it was. Not only the possibility but the quality of a generated machine code as well. Following that experience I ended up trying https://github.com/gtrak/no.disassemble with no beginners luck :-( with first steps with lein ... Any idea what went wrong? $ cat project.clj (defproject my-project "myREPL" :dependencies [[nodisassemble "0.1.2"]]) $ lein repl nREPL server started on port 62154 on host 127.0.0.1 REPL-y 0.3.0 Clojure 1.4.0 Docs: (doc function-name-here) (find-doc "part-of-name-here") Source: (source function-name-here) Javadoc: (javadoc java-object-or-class-here) Exit: Control+D or (exit) or (quit) Results: Stored in vars *1, *2, *3, an exception in *e user=> (require 'no.disassemble) nil user=> (in-ns 'no.disassemble) #<Namespace no.disassemble> no.disassemble=> (println (disassemble (fn []))) java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.util.ClassFileStruct.u4At(ClassFileStruct.java:61) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.util.ClassFileReader.<init>(ClassFileReader.java:76) Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
