+## 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

## Roadmap
-uhe future of this project is uncertain. In most words, I simply forget about this repository.
