LUA is FFOC

LUA is the toy language for those who enjoy the Forced Flushing Of L1/L2 Cache per operation. In fact, every operation causes several L2 cache misses during table look-ups, flushing both the L1 and L2 caches.

I was asking for a case where this matters. A case that can actually be tracked down.

While in theory I'd fully agree with you, your point is pretty much a pointless one if you're entirely unable to actually prove it.

Judging by your logic, an application that is entirely written in an interpreted language (such as eve online, which is almost entirely written in Python), must be OMG FUCKING SLOW.

But how come it isn't at all? Good question indeed. Your turn.
