scale VS scale-benchmarks

This is exactly one of the use-cases for the Scale Framework[1]. (Disclaimer: I work on this project)

You can absolutely take a library from one language and run it in another. In a sense, you could kind of see this ability as drastically reducing the need for rewriting sdks, middlewares, etc. across languages, as you could just reuse code from one language across many others. We played around with some fun ideas here, like taking a Rust regex library and using it in a Golang program via a scale function plugin (compiled to Wasm), to the effect of the performance being ~4x faster than native code that uses Go's regex library.

We're currently working on a couple of different projects, but everything we've launched so far (fRPC and Scale) is FOSS.

If you'd like a more apples-to-apples comparison you can run the benchmarks here: https://github.com/loopholelabs/scale-benchmarks/blob/master/regex/main_test.go

Our example is Rust regex vs Go regex: using Rust regex inside of a Scale Function significantly outperformed using Go's regex natively. If you're interested, you can check out the benchmarks we wrote here.
