You juggled the numbers to get a result ;-)
Nope, simply weighted everything equally and saw what came out on
top, strange that you call equal weights "juggling the numbers."
As I said, I'd only heard of D once before and certainly wasn't
using it, so I wasn't out to get a particular result.
This one doesn't show any benchmarks because it says it's in
your game, so you are involved.
No it does not say that.
It says "This directory contains the Julia version of the "The
Computer Language Benchmarks Game".
It provides "perf.jl" to time those Julia programs.
Those Julia programs are not included in the benchmarks game.
You're right, I saw the links to the game and thought they were
saying it did, guess not.
I'm guessing that's because he tried to update the old D
benchmarking code and likely the C/C++ code has been optimized
a lot more since. ...
I suspect D would do just as well on the other benchmarks now.
What a great opportunity for someone in the D community to help
publicize the language!
As I pointed out to you, there are other benchmarks already doing
that.
You're free to include whatever languages you like in your game,
of course, but it's strange that you're throwing out languages
that were already implemented for all the benchmarks and doing
well, especially since their communities would be happy to keep
them up to date.
