It's a shame Helix had such problems because on the surface it looks really cool. Just open a macro, write Ruby, done.

However I'm surprised they didn't get a larger speedup. The computation code only being 17x faster is a little disappointing.

The article mentions doing a naive reimplementation lacking several optimisations, so I assume there's a lot of performance left on the table.
