Performance benchmarks?

[brjoha]

Hi. This looks promising.

I read the doc on performance, but am curious if you've benchmarked Jinx against other embedded languages for a handful of common computations (e.g., fibonacci sequence)?

I've considered it, but frankly, high performance was never really a focus of Jinx. Rather, I was focused on ease of use, ease of integration, and runtime safety. For example, some quality-of-life features are directly contradictory to high performance, such as being able to reference variables by name at runtime, instead of having to figure out where they are in a virtual stack.

I'm mildly curious to see the relative performance, but honestly, not curious enough to do that extra work.
