WRT evangelism. Would it be worthwhile to show a comparison of the time to execute the given C++ (or Python) algorithm on a selected example and the time to execute the given algorithm in J?
For example, nth_root takes 300 times as long as %: on my computer. I wonder how long they take compared to the Python program? It would be good on the Rosetta code site if there was a table of execution time comparisons for each language on the same machine. I would like to see J vs Python vs C++ in particular. I could not work out how to time a program in Python though, and do not know how accurate the Ts function from load 'system\packages\misc\jforc.ijs' is. I.e., I do not know enough about Python or Ts to fairly publish a time comparison, but think it would be useful. The question is, is J faster than Python when the best J programmers write J vs the best Python programmers writing Python? What about C++? 2009/10/12 Dan Bron <[email protected]> > I wrote: > > To that end, I've created a page on RC to start that dicussion: > > http://rosettacode.org/wiki//HouseStyle . > > The link should've been http://rosettacode.org/wiki/J/HouseStyle . > > -Dan > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
