Well, even on my personal laptop, J did the naive recursive program in 28 seconds, placing it far ahead of most interpreted languages:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/benchmark.php?test=recursive&lang=all The actual code I wrote is here: http://hg.metaperl.com/alioth?f=41c39cfb6ff3;file=recursive;style=raw I used Cygwin's time function to time it, so it will be interesting to see the results with a real timing on a fast machine once all 15 benchmarks are done. Remember these are supposed to be naive implementations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
