Warning

This benchmark has been misleading for a while. It was originally made to demonstrate how JIT compilers can do all sorts of crazy stuff to your code - especially LuaJIT - and was meant to be a starting point of discussion about what exactly LuaJIT does and how.

As a result, its not indicative of what its performance may be on more realistic data. Differences can be expected because

the text will not consist of hard-coded constants

The spec has moved to a repo: https://github.com/defunctzombie/package-browser-field-spec to facilitate collaboration.

The First Rule of Dataflow Tuning:
* Ensure each stage is always ready to accept records, and
* Deliver each processed record promptly to its destination

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

	Lisp interpreter in 90 lines of C++

	I've enjoyed reading Peter Norvig's recent articles on Lisp. He implements a Scheme interpreter in 90 lines of Python in the first, and develops it further in the second.

	Just for fun I wondered if I could write one in C++. My goals would be

	1. A Lisp interpreter that would complete Peter's Lis.py test cases correctly...
	2. ...in no more than 90 lines of C++.

	Although I've been thinking about this for a few weeks, as I write this I have not written a line of the code. I'm pretty sure I will achieve 1, and 2 will be... a piece of cake!
