Misc benchmarks for Elm code

This repository is a collection of benchmarks I created, through explorations on how to make Elm code faster and plain curiosity.

NOTE that all of these benchmarks are to be taken with a grain of salt. For instance, some things I tried improving turn out worse than the original idea, some may not see improvements in all of the JavaScript runtimes, and some amazing results get eclipsed by better changes already in elm-optimize-level-2.

To run a benchmark:

elm make --optimize src/<Benchmark name>.elm

then open index.html in your browser. Ideally, you want to run a benchmark in every major browser, because while a benchmark can show improvements in Chrome, it can show deterioration in Safari for instance.

If you wish to run these benchmarks with elm-optimize-level-2, you can run

elm-optimize-level-2 src/<Benchmark name>.elm>

then open optimized.html in your browser.

Feel free to share these benchmarks. If you do, please link to this repo so that others can have a go at changing the benchmarks themselves.

If you find problems in the way some of these benchmarks are done, please open an issue.
