Re: [FRIAM] Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game
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.

Re: [FRIAM] Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game
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. Greg Sonnenfeld “The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly.

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.

Not clear what you mean. HTML5 is a markup language, not a programming language.

Re: [FRIAM] Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game
Nice. It is commonly known that interpreters are slower than compilers but it is interesting to have measures and a ranking.
