NectarJS is under development and some people doubt the efficacy of NectarJS. Here is the result of a simple Fibonacci benchmark with NodeJS, C and NectarJS.

The code

JavaScript Code (for NodeJS and NectarJS)

function fibonacci(n) { if (n < 2) return n; return fibonacci(n - 2) + fibonacci(n - 1); } console.log(fibonacci(45));

C code

#include <stdio.h> int fibonacci(int n) { if (n < 2) return n; return fibonacci(n - 2) + fibonacci(n - 1); } int main() { printf("%d

", fibonacci(45)); return 0; }

The benchmark

Results

Engine / Compiler Result NodeJS v7.4.0 15.673s GCC v6.3.0 3.782s NectarJS v0.26 2.782s

So, NectarJS compiled output could be faster than C and NodeJS. We have implemented a multi-pass optimizer (called "Leeloo" :D) on JavaScript objects, that is always under active developement.
