Where did he claim it is fast? As far as I can see the only claim is that it scales linearly with cores. Which it actually seems to do.

OP comes around with some of the coolest things posted in HN recently, and all he gets is extensive criticism, when it is clear that this is an early version :/
In the end, HN comments fall prey to this truth and you see a handful of positive comments, with the majority being criticisms or "I wish this did X". No one person is to blame. Its just the culture of technologists today.

Correction for you - This is patently false, OP has had three hits -- this one, and two one hundred pointers out of 100-200 submissions. P.s. it seems rather likely the op is Victor Taelin, they mostly submit his tweets and gists. Who are you rooting for, exactly, newcomer? P.p.s. Victor Taelin just happens to be the most recent committer on this submission, imagine that. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35363400

We're a bit off-topic, but there's no requirement that your account be associated with your identity, especially when the op is pretty clearly involved with the project (as opposed to if they were claiming not to be or something).

I have no idea what you're trying to convey, but I'm Victor Taelin. Also very cool comment on that thread, hypothesizing on whether we'd be able to ever run it on GPUs. We did it! That is what we're announcing today.

"Future" has some mild speed implications but it sounds like you're doing reasonably there, bug nonwithstanding.
It also has "Not yet" implications ...

> it is allocating 2 IC nodes for each numeric operation, while Python is not While that's true, Python would be using big integers (PyLongObject) for most of the computations, meaning every number gets allocated on the heap. If we use a Python implementation that would avoid this, like PyPy or Cython, the results change significantly: % cat sum.py def sum(depth, x): if depth == 0: return x else: fst = sum(depth-1, x…
The only claim I made is that it scales linearly with cores. Nothing else! I'm personally putting a LOT of effort to make our claims as accurate and truthful as possible, in every single place. Documentation, website, demos. I spent hours in meetings to make sure everything is correct. Yet, sometimes it feels that no matter how much effort I put, people will just find ways to misinterpret it. We published the real be…

Can someone point me to a website where it explains that this is the "ideal speedup"? Is there a formula?
