Hi, I'm just learning Clojure but I thought I would do a little experiment to see where Clojure sits performance-wise compared to a number of other languages on the old Fibonacci sequence. I think it handles itself quite well.
The full writeup: http://www.mikeperham.com/2008/12/13/clojure-vs-ruby/ The results: Java 1.2 sec C (gcc 4.0.1) 2.6 sec Clojure 20080916 11.3 sec Ruby 1.9pr1 44.3 sec JRuby 1.1.5 118.1 sec Ruby 1.8.6 195.6 sec Java's native speed is outstanding and while Clojure adds some language overhead, the benefits of running on the JVM are obvious. mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
