Lets update PicoLisp (17.1.7) times and compare with other dialects. Demo code for time3 by @taij33n: (bench (let N 1000000 (loop (eval '(prog (setq x 0) (setq x (+ x 1))) ) (T (=0 (dec 'N)) 'done) ) ) ) In seconds: PicoLisp - 0.102 newlisp (10.7.0) - 0.368 clisp (2.49) - 2.98 JVM part: PicoLisp - 0.277 Clojure 1.8.0 - 90.06 Mike
