Prolog has a really unusual comparison syntax: it uses =< for less than or equal, unlike most languages which use <=.

This comparison of OpenSmalltalkVM and TruffleSqueak is a really effective demonstration of JITs. TruffleSqueak initially has a lower framerate, but eventually exceeds OpenSmalltalkVM. As soon as the GUI is used (at 3:30), the framerate drops again!

"The phrase the Rust team members like to use is that they’re trying to make the best 90’s era programming language they can." Thoughtful comparison between Rust and Haskell. https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2018/11/haskell-and-rust
