Yes, quite some methodological objections. To be fair: I'm no expert in this field and I haven't looked on the site for quite some time. But benchmarks are really hairy, it's really easy to measure much more hardware than compiler aspects, people are very different in proficiency (in one case I heard even about rejection of a faster version of a benchmark in one language -- but I don't remember if this was on alioth or another language comparision compilation of benchmarks). If there aren't really tight rules and quite some top experts in benchmarking involved, I wouldn't trust any single number... but that's just me and YMMV. > "We must make do with the imperfect evidence that we can find, not > merely lament its deficiencies." Yes, that's true. But language shootout are much overrated und I doubt that there are any deep insights in there. So yes, I think I'm dismissive. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
