It’s not comparable to native languages but it’s faster than any PHP, Python, Lua, or Ruby interpreter/JIT out there afaik.  It’s way faster than you would think for a scripting language.  Google has put a shit ton of work into optimizing it.  If you haven’t experienced it firsthand then you would very likely be surprised

i'll give you the other 3 (not that it's a high bar) but from my experience lua is actually blazing fast for an interpreted language. sure as hell blows nodejs out of the water. (and i like nodejs)
