Research direction

Start with .autoloop/programs/perf-comparison/program.md, then inspect benchmarks/** and the referenced playground/benchmarks.html and playground/index.html. The program compares one unbenchmarked tsb function with pandas per iteration; completion for an iteration means adding both benchmark scripts and recording the result on the playground page, with no finite overall endpoint.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Performance Comparison: tsb (TypeScript) vs pandas (Python)

Goal

Systematically benchmark every tsb function against its pandas equivalent, one function per iteration. Each iteration picks a function that has not yet been benchmarked, writes a matching performance test for both tsb (TypeScript/Bun) and pandas (Python), runs both, and records the timing results. The benchmark results are displayed on the playground pages doc site.

This is an open-ended program — it runs continuously, always adding the next benchmark comparison.

Target

Only modify these files:

  • benchmarks/** — benchmark scripts and results
  • playground/benchmarks.html — performance comparison playground page
  • playground/index.html — add/update link to benchmarks page

Evaluation

The metric is benchmarked_functions. Higher is better.
