I' quite sure that D can achieve performance equivalence with any
other language. I don´t see any reason not to.
About that specific benchmark, not sure vibe.d had some updates
since the first time I saw because I remembered people arguing
here about why it was not that good on performance. Maybe now it
will make better results.
And I agree about the communication part. Altough i like to see
benchmarks and like to see the competition part of it their
objective is just to point out that "we can do as much as these
other guys can".
When benchmarks go slow people say that "benchmark is not
everything or are wrong somehow".
But then when D get the fastest regex parser of the world, is all
proud :)
But again, I believe that D can be performance competitive in any
case.
