## Performance table
With the [time](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/time.1.html) tool, using 1M samples:
| Language | Time |
|----------|-----------|
| C | 0m0,442s |
| Squiggle | 0m0,488s |
| Node | 0m0,732s |
| R | 0m7,000s |
| Python (CPython) | 0m16,641s |
I was very surprised that Node/Squiggle code was almost as fast as the raw C code. For the Python code, it's possible that the lack of speed is more a function of me not being as familiar with Python. It's also very possible that the code would run faster with [PyPy](https://doc.pypy.org)
## Languages I may add later
- Javascript
- Julia
- Julia (TuringML)
- Rust
- C
- Lisp
