Lisp faster than C

• How to make Lisp go faster than C - pdf - by DidierVerna

  • introducing the proper type declarations, using the appropriate data structures and compiler information
  
  
• Lisp As Fast As C (Almost) - ongoing
  
  
• Performance, Benchmark of the Day
  • On my laptop C++ versions 1 and 2 run in 2.139s and 2.410s respectively (user+sys), and the direct Common Lisp translations using double floats and native complexes run in 3.692s and 4.594s on SBCL.
  • Say almost as fast, not faster (even when it's true)

• I want to believe (in Lisp performance)
  • It's good to be wrong about Lisp performance
    • Lisp-implementation just 20% slower than a C-implementation.<
