lulz is aLOLCODE implementation written in rust.It ismuch faster thanlci because it embedsLuaas a JIT-compiler backend.

also, it...

• won't give you randomsegfaults likelcidoesalot
• tries very hard to conform to theLOLCODE spec,with some additional (backwards compatible) features
• has beautiful and informativerust/clang-like-errors

this implementation is still a work in progress, and sometests still don't pass yet.

cargo install lulzlulz --help

git clone https://github.com/MonliH/lulz.gitcd lulzcargo run --release

In a simplerecursive fibonacci benchmark, it performs about220x faster than lci, and13x faster than CPython:

I will add more benchmarks soon. Note: The startup times of each implementation is included in the timings. Benchmarks performed on a AMD Ryzen 7 5700U.

To run the benchmarks yourself:

# Install dependencies:pip install matplotlib numpy tqdmcargo install hyperfine# Show help menu:python run_perfs.py --help
