Thanks a lot for the explanation Armin Rigo. > PyPy to be in the same > ballpark performance as V8
Since Debian shootout no longer includes pypy we do not know where to look for good benchmarks, so I had to look at TechEmpower benchmark. Its my fault for looking at TechEmpower benchmark and not realizing they are comparing Apples to Bananas , not even Oranges. >I would ditch PHP in favour of a more reasonable language After years and years of programming in "Main Stream" programming lanaguges for almost a dacade , i discovered python , and ditched all those mainstreams (Java, .Net, PHP and RoR) . I found Python keep getting better and better making my development life easier and easier (Code reuse , Clean but efficient syntax) , But only thing i miss from compiled languages is Performance. Due to first test of pypy (since 1.3 i tried to use pypy but it was not very promising back then) so I was in Fear , Uncertainty and Doubt about PyPy. But since pypy 2.x it become a lot more compatible and Performance becoming really promising So I am thinking seriously these days about switching to PyPy in non-scientific library requirement places (my projects needs a lot of scikit-learn). Thats why I am looking at performance comparisons Seriously.. Sorry if the discussion I've started tainted pypy.
