A comment on Lua vs Ruby benchmarks (similarly "high-level" languages, insanely different performance).

I wonder how it would compare with Ruby 1.9 (released today)?

You don't have to wonder - all the code is downloadable. You can run the benchmark on Ruby 1.9 yourself.

That's true, but I'll live with wondering a little longer. In the meantime, it seems that Lua is still quite a bit faster than ruby 1.9.0, even though ruby 1.9.0 is approaching Python 2 territory (tested 7 months ago):
