[Stackless] Speed comparision between stackless and otherintepreted languages

[Hilmar V. Pétursson]

Hi Dan,

In our experience, speed has not been an issue. Actually we were pleasantly surprised how fast it is. We implemented our game, EVE Online:
http://www.eve-online.com/

In Stackless Python, we use it extensively, both on the server and the client (EVE is an MMO with up to 13.000 concurrent players in the same world). 

On the client we have a close integration with our 3D engine, which has allowed none programmers to script impressive special effects. The procedural synchronous model that stackless offers, with the natural syntax that Python offers, has in our experience allowed programmers and none programmers to write code like it should be (before the onslaught of asynchronicity and callback driven architectures took all the fun out of it :)).

Regards,

Hello all,

Im evaluating stackless as a scripting environment for a 3d engine. I 
find many of its features a real boon. But there is a question : speed 
of the interpreter. Anyone on this list
has URLs to a speed comparision between stackless and other 
inteprpetors, especially LUA ?

Thank you, Dan
