Use C or C++ instead?

  RTFA dude. The end product was _faster_ than C.

    ...after a ton of ugly workarounds and optimizations. I wonder how much slower than C a straight C++ port would be.

    > _faster_ than C How do you know? There is no data on the respective machines and environments. A number from a tweet and a number from a blog post do not make such data.

Everything is on Github, you are welcome to try it out on your own machine.

    Is it still faster than C with this mistake fixed? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11713486 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11713486
