The reason being comparing how various schemes of automatic reference memory management perform.

Naturally if the purpose was to compare stack allocation performance other approach would have been taken.



The goal was to write a network driver in several languages. Nobody said anything about comparing memory management techniques, nor would the Swift implementation use a stack allocator anyways.


They would appreciate your contribution to fix the benchmark.

Apparently the ARC performance improvements announced at WWDC 2022 weren't needed.


I don’t think they would, considering they’ve already finished their study.


You could have your own repo to counterpost every time someone like me refers to that old study with tainted results.


I don't really have the skills to do an accurate comparison across many languages, and if I pick just three or four it's going to get nitpicked to death for being cherry-picked. Honestly, I generally think studies of this kind are mostly doomed to failure, or invariably converge to someone trying to encode x86 intrinsics in Rust.
