That may violate the rules.
Now the SBCL 1.0.45 updates and the LuaJIT 2.0.0-beta6 updates are done, and those long long running Ruby mandelbrot and Python fannkuch- redux programs have finished - time for some Clojure. I agree with your assessment that the C++ program and the Clojure program use a much more efficient algorithm than the other programs. Showing your Clojure program would go against the use the same algorithm spirit of the benchmarks game - so it won't be shown. In contrast, meteor-contest is pretty much open to whatever algorithm you can dream up (with obvious exceptions - trivial programs that just print the hard coded result). http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=meteor&lang=all#about -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
