FTA (edited to insert the hyperlinks as text): “Cyber is fast on various benchmarks. The language was designed with performance in mind from the start. See more Benchmarks (https://cyberscript.dev/performance.html) or read more about Performance (https://cyberscript.dev/performance.html#info).”

  - Fast dispatch.
  - Precompiled JIT.
  - Compiled using Zig/LLVM.
