The Enlightenment Foundation Libraries has several bindings for other
languages in order to ease the creation of end-user applications,

Python benchmarks to compare the performance of EFL using each of these
languages. The JS benchmarks were using Spidermonkey as the engine since
elixir was already done for EFL. I then created new …
