Thanks Ward! Its pretty cool you chose my library as first thing.
I have committed some changes to the float parser but I still can't beat
typescript, but I did gain about 3.5ms of speed.
name ............................... min time avg time std dv runs
parsing ........................... 36.510 ms 37.093 ms ±0.913 x134
Run
Though if this is a one shot script, you might consider disabling GC with
--gc:none then it can beat type script:
nim c -r -d:danger --gc:none .\tests\bench_options.nim
Run
name ............................... min time avg time std dv runs
parsing ........................... 23.764 ms 27.883 ms ±9.115 x17

JS is GC and JIT is very fast for a dynamic language. My hope that nim's GC
will improve, but there are still tricks to "cheat" and come out ahead. This is
what irked me about javascript while making my browser based game, once you hit
the JS performance wall you can't optimize any more. With nim there are things
todo!
