Hallo all, I know that what I'm asking here is not 100% about clojure but I hope people in here can help me anyway.
Me and a classmade of mine have to do a project for school and we though i would be cool to do some programming language benchmarking. Its a good fit because he is a systems guy and I'm a programmer. So I can write the benchmarks and he can test them but neither of us ever did any benchmarking. To keep things simple I choose three jvm languages (Clojure, Scala and JRuby but I could change them if there would be a good reason). The other thing I have to work out is what algorithms (2) I want to benchmark. So I have a few questions. - is there good information (i could find much) on whats importend in benchmarking and other general things you should know when you do benchmarking. - Can it make sence to ask the question on how fast a language is if you write the test in a "idiomatic" way. - I don't want test that are only based on number crunching (on of them could be). What would be good benchmarks for languages? - What are the best tools to benchmark on the jvm (and optimize your tests) - Are there other things that you think could be helpful to me.
