I think it's on a right track to be quite something, which is why I wanted to try it out & mention that on HN.

It's interesting to note that on the "classic" Ruby, there is work ongoing in 2.6 to accelerate it quite a bit (MJIT). The current PR for this is there:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1782

Even before that, Ruby is getting faster, you'll get running times from 2.0.0 to 2.5.0 for a little benchmark I made here:

Have you tried Crystal? I've been very impressed by it.

Yes - I've tried & I like it. I used it for some specific bits. That said so far, I've been unable to properly port the gem I mention in the post (Kiba) to it, despite a couple of attempts.
