YADU13963yNot to shit on Clojure (since I am a big LISP fan), but I'm really curious to see the C++ code they were comparing to.

30hrs1003y@YADU That I don't know about. I did find the bookmark, it's about Lisp, not Clojure and makes the point that its power and your lack of competition using it, give you a great advantage as a startup.

x100 times faster.
x100 times less maintainable.
x100 times more likely to summon an eldritch nightmare.
Folks should give Clojure a look. It may be Lisp on steroids. Need to wrap your brain around macros to use it properly. It's interpreted so it must be slow, riiight?
Not so, er, fast.Ran across a discussion re C++ vs Clojure running data acquisition at 100 MBPS or better. Bottom line, original Clojure code was sped up 76.6x and blew the doors off the C++ code.
Be warned, a number of optimization steps were required. The end result blew me away. Had a link I wanted to insert but it's not on my phone and I may have re-installed Linux wiping it out. Have looked for the post for hours, no joy.
