Comparing the performance of LuaJIT embedded in Go.

Handlers

Check main.go for details.

NotCachedHandler

This HTTP handler will perform a standard luaL_dofile (file read operation) on every request, this is the slowest handler!

CachedHandler

This handler will make use of luaL_dostring and the cached script data contained in cached_script. cached_script is set by LuaCacheScript.

GoHandler

The fastest handler ever!

Results

Using boom with the following parameters:

-n 5000 (number of requests)

-c 50 (number of concurrent requests)

On a Macbook Pro Mid 2014, Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM.

go-lua-benchmark's Issues

is it possible to execute lua from go without "luajit?"

In this example golang goes into C environment and then from C it goes into lua using luajit. Is it possible to directly go from Golang Env to Lua ??
BTW, Nice talk : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg5LATLdVfI

Thx
