Not true. Visit the repositorium and see the benchmark results: https://github.com/frol/completely-unscientific-benchmarks The SGCL repository contains the source code for this benchmark that uses the tracked pointers: https://github.com/pebal/sgcl/blob/main/examples/treap/treap... Only D language is close to the result, the rest of the GC languages are several times slower. (clang on Windows) raw pointers: 149ms tracked pointers: 181ms

I guess, your ballpark estimate is too rough (and/or Python 3 has improved significantly since then). The sources / benchmarks that I used to back up my claims [1-3] imply use of pure Python, not "almost pure-C". That includes Web frameworks (FastAPI that I compared to Java / Go frameworks is pure Python, which, in turn, is based on Starlette, a pure-Python implementation of an ASGI framework).

There's a little benchmark project here: https://github.com/frol/completely-unscientific-benchmarks The Ada implementation is the second fastest behind C++.

Apart from some syntactic commonalities and expressiveness, Nim doesn't have a lot in common with Python. The idiomatic approach to solving problems in Python and Nim are different. I came from a strong Python background and now I prefer Nim to Python as a general purpose language and especially for writing scripts. Nim is highly productive and with excellent type safety. The compiler is relatively fast though maybe not as fast as D and certainly not as fast as Go. The compiler is a lot faster than Rust/Crystal/Pony and there is current work being done on incremental builds which should make it even faster. If you take a look at these benchmarks the Nim and D fastest versions are faster than Rust and on par with the fastest C++. Significantly, the fastest D version has double the lines of code as the fastest garbage collected version of

This week there was a popular benchmark about implementing a treap in various languages, Go was as fast as both Rust version and c++ with shared pointer. It was even faster than those languages on some other platforms. So yeah benchmark ... https://github.com/frol/completely-unscientific-benchmarks
