sia VS clio

Prior to version v0.11.0, Clio used JSON for serialization. JSON is available everywhere and it’s fairly fast, so at first, it might sound like a good idea to go with JSON. Unfortunately, as soon as we start serializing custom types with JSON, its performance degrades to the point that it’s not efficient anymore. To solve this issue, I created a serialization library for JavaScript named Sia, and to boost its serialization performance to the next level, I also designed a new text encoding which I called utfz. I spent over a year optimizing these two libraries, and as a result, managed to make Sia so fast that the pure JavaScript version of it beats even the performance of the native serialization libraries available for Node.js!

I've been working on a functional programming language in the past few years and I'd like to share it with you, would be nice to have some feedback on it! The language is called "Clio" and you can find it here: https://github.com/clio-lang/clio or here: https://clio-lang.org

Clio is a functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It runs on Node.js as well as in the browser and is multi-threaded on both. Clio makes it super easy to do parallel or distributed programming, you can easily use the CPU cores on the local device, or use the resources on another device available on the network. Clio scales indefinitely. It has a clean syntax and is super fast. You can read an introduction to Clio here on medium, visit our GitHub repository or website, or you can directly go on to our playground to see and try a few examples.
