I haven't benchmarked various code execution (which is a huge space), but `nim
e` is quite a bit slower than Python for start-up time:
touch j.nims
(repeat 10 utime nim e j.nims) |& min
(repeat 10 utime py2 -c "") |& min
(repeat 10 utime py3 -c "") |& min
Run
yields 0.0989, 0.00544, 0.00817. So, start up time is 18x slower than py2 and
12x slower than py3. Not sure how Nimscripter compares to nim e, and there is
obviously much more to run time than start-up time. (Just ask the Julia people,
LOL). { `utime` and `min` are my own programs. Writing your own is an exercise
for any benchmarker. ;-) }
