I have debunked (some of the) benchmarks of this new and suspicious "Tov" programming language. Slight background: My friend (who is pretty interested in new stuff generally) found this thing and sent its main site to me saying things like "looks pretty cool", but my intuition told me this sounds like "a scam", esp. when it claimed it performs faster than C and Rust. I personally think apart from changing the code, they probably tried to set up some specific environments that make their programs run faster than C / Rust, or maybe they just made up the numbers. Who knows. submitted by /u/madon…
