Julia Computing Raises $4.6M in Seed Funding

It was faster than everything, and by a huge margin: https://github.com/costajob/app-servers#results

It does seem that immature languages tend to win a lot of benchmarks, likely because they're still cutting a lot of corners. Still, though.

I only wish they picked a more "Enterprise-friendly" name...

Well, it is the only LLVM language on the list. Even so, Nim transpiles to C and should be fairly comparable unless it is because of the async part or like you said they're cutting corners. I guess it's possible they're just that good, but it seems unlikely.

Please stop using the word transpiles in this context. Nim compiles to C.
