So LuaJIT beats D on some or all of those benchmarks? I can't quite remember what your website URL is. But I did find this: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=luajit&lang2=gpp I was thinking LuaJIT would be too new and/or fringe for it to be on the Alioth shootout, but it's there. >From that it looks like LuaJIT can't beat g++ for speed on any of the benchmarks. You disagree with those results? --bb
