Just wanted to point out that the C# tested here was done with the recently made community Mono engine. Not the mature .NET engine. Greg Sonnenfeld “Two h's walk into a bar. The first one says, What is this? Some kind of physics joke?” On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 9:12

Just made my periodic visit to Language Shootout. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/which-programming-languages-are-fastest.php Imagine my surprise when I found JavaScript V8 at 2.85! Considering Fortran was the 1.0 and C++ 1.3 that's astounding! And Ruby 43.80 Python 47.93 (note JRuby,

It would be interesting to see this same benchmark done on an Intel C compiler. Its a bit of a misnomer to compare Intel Fortran to GNU C. GNU C should probably be compared to GNU F77. A good thing to think about is how compiler implementation and optimization will impact performance.

HTML 5 is oddly abscent. Though speed tests are kind of cool-relevence and what used in the reel world might be slightly more telling--though I think someone had put a few numbers up on the list a few months ago. On Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 9:28 PM, Owen Densmore o...@backspaces.net wrote: Latest

Not clear what you mean. HTML5 is a markup language, not a programming language. You can't use it to perform computations. *-- Russ Abbott* *_* *** Professor, Computer Science* * California State University, Los Angeles* * Google voice:

Nice. It is commonly known that interpreters are slower than compilers but it is interesting to have measures and a ranking. Thanks 2012/3/18 Owen Densmore o...@backspaces.net Latest shootout results. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=alllang=all V8 JS still

From the link, it seems that C is the fastest programming language by a very wide margin. On 3/19/12, Owen Densmore o...@backspaces.net wrote: Latest shootout results. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=alllang=all

C's in third spot, just behind C++ and Fortran. There shouldn't be much difference between C and C++, and there isn't. Fortran has almost always produced more efficient code, although one should be able to approach Fortran performance in C and C++ with a little care. Cheers On Tue, Mar 20, 2012
