I was surprised by that, can you publish what the benchmark was, and what compilers were used? I tried Go when it came out and it felt faster than D to compile (which is reasonable because is a much simpler language). -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRAÑA RELACION ENTRE UN JUBILADO Y UN JABALI -- Crónica TV
