# Smalltalk-on-SX vs. GNU Smalltalk timing comparison.
#
# Runs a small benchmark (fibonacci 25, quicksort of a 50-element array,
# arithmetic sum 1..1000) on both runtimes and reports the ratio.
#
# GNU Smalltalk (`gst`) must be installed and on $PATH. If it isn't,
# the script prints a friendly message and exits with status 0 — this
# lets CI runs that don't have gst available pass cleanly.
#
# Usage: bash lib/smalltalk/compare.sh
