After my testing of JAVA, PYTHON, VB, C-sharp and Erlang like script languages, I noticed that script languages should be timed after the shell interpreter completed loaded.
The start up loading time of script interpreters should be excluded in the measure of executing a byte code script. This also explains why C-executables are fast in manny testing programs of various languages to out beat all interpreter loading languages. But I computed the Euler'of s number for tens of thousands of digitsunder different shells , then I was able to check the speed issues of various computer languages. My question is whether a lot speed testings of computer languages are done in a biased way toward script languages to be slow? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
