lua fast

<adelikat_> but I also wonder if we shouldn't just use somethign other than lua
<adelikat_> the only reason for lua is that there is so much infrastructure and knowledge built around it
<Masterjun> lua is pretty fast
<feos> and neat

<feos> the most requested non-lua is python
<adelikat_> yup
<adelikat_> IronPython perhaps
<Masterjun> that twitter link is Lua, fully emulating a 65816 cpu, at 250 fps
<Masterjun> ironically without the help of the 65816 emulator it's running on
<Masterjun> python is very slow in tasks like these
<adelikat_> lua beats out python?
<Masterjun> yep
<adelikat_> I'm surprised by that
<Masterjun> and by like a factor of 10
