Re: [Vala] benchmarks on Vala?

[Sandino Flores Moreno <tigrux gmail com>]

Exactly, that's why I mentioned my specific experience with my pet
language, because I was in the case that for every iteration, I was
creating 2 gobjects, which resulted in 100,000 gobjects created in a
few seconds.

And just dropping gobjects (full classes) to use plain structs
(compact classes) saw an improvement of 300%.

GLib (and therefore Vala) provide many options that seem redundant at
first glance until you realize their advantages (full classes, compact
classes, boxed types, references over copies, etc).
