Lasso code is Poetry.
Lasso 9 is a powerful development platform that allows developers to create custom, data-driven web applications.
The centerpiece of the Lasso product line maintains Lasso’s legendary ease-of-use, cutting-edge functionality and cross-platform versatility, while outperforming other programming languages in speed and stability tests.
The substring test measures the performance of basic string manipulation by timing how long it takes to calculate every possible substring containing the first character from a string that is 130,000 characters in length. In this test, Lasso 9 demonstrates a nearly 40% improvement over the closest competitor.
The fractal test measures the performance of floating point math operations by timing how long it takes to calculate the first 1,000 iterations of the Mandelbrot set. Again, Lasso 9 shows significant savings — a little over 20% — versus the closest competitor.
The fibonacci test measures the performance of basic math operations by timing how long it takes to calculate the 40th number in the Fibonacci sequence. Here, Lasso 9 just barely edges out Python by about a half second, though both are about 15% faster than PHP and nearly 60% faster than Ruby.
The count test measures the performance of looping structures by timing how long it takes to count from zero to one million. Here, somewhat surprisingly when compared to the other tests, PHP wins by a huge margin, though Lasso 9 still outperforms Python and Ruby.

Lasso Server 9.1.4 was released on October 27, 2011 and sees an important change in the introduction of a custom replacement of the FastCGI module for Apache. The new module is called mod_lasso9. LassoSoft's R&D team developed mod_lasso9 to solve an inherent limitation found in communication between Apache and mod_fastcgi. The Lasso 9.1.4 update delivers a number of other improvements, and more compatibility improvements.
Lasso's syntax is legendary for being easy to learn - now it's even quicker and easier to broaden your skills with LassoSoft's new range of beginner to advanced Lasso training sessions.
