The interesting part is that the node execution performance is almost 85% for V8 and GraalVM is still in beta. Hopefully they will manage to reach the same performance and then you could compile you node app into a native one and have no drawbacks. Currently a JAX-RS rest endpoint compiled into native boots in ~5ms and uses 20mb of ram.

I like that GraalR runs an order of magnitude faster than the reference R runtime :D

I guess R is a scripting language so it makes sense, I expect python to run faster too
