Hello, I am a Racket beginner and I have come across this article:
<goog_416028503> https://benhoyt.com/writings/count-words/ This is my attempt at solving the challenge: <goog_416028502> https://pastebin.com/kL16w5Hc However when I have benchmarked it, it takes ~21 seconds to run compared to the Python and Ruby versions which take around 3-4 seconds. I understand that both Ruby and Python probably have the string operations and hash tables implemented in optimized C but is there anything I can do to improve performance of my program? Many thanks for all help and suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
