Ask HN: How Fast Is Swift Compared To Other Languages?

2 points by tronium ↗ HN
I was wondering if there's a current way to tell (or if it's already been figured) how fast Swift is, to say, C. C is the primary language I'm interested in comparing it to, but it would be nice to have some sort of nice chart with many languages on it, including compiled and scripting languages.

Language speed is notoriously hard to compare.

Benchmarks often highlight one fast or slow component of a language and don't give a good idea of actual performance.
