    Ew, their claimed benchmarking is ridiculously biased. “We completely restructured the algorithm to be more efficient, so our language is faster than yours.” and “We ran our benchmarks on a faster computer than we ran the Python benchmarks.” Not a good look to lie through your teeth like that.

      They also claimed to be faster than C++ in the beginning, but they failed to mention that the C++ code was unoptimized single-thread code while the Mojo version was SIMD-vectorized and multithreaded. It’s only after people criticized them for that that they started calling the C++ code “scalar C++”. Scientific rigor is lacking in their benchmarks.
