making java as fast as javascript

[Justin Donaldson]

I never would've thought this is the case, but the google v8 engine seems to do some call site optimization that can beat java in math and vector performance:

Maybe a FastMath class is a good idea, with macro methods that detect integer arguments and switch to more efficient algorithms.

Best,

Very nice info. I really never would have thought about that :)

I can replace Math to FastMath for Haxe very easily, btw
