One of my PhD students suggested adding Cython to the Computer Language Benchmark Game:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ Seems like it would be fun -- after all, there are already Python implementations there (for 11 problems), so as a start, one could simply wrap up a proper compilation script for Cython, and submit it. Fiddling with declarations etc. would be a natural next step, of course. I'm thinking about doing something here myself, but I'm a bit busy with another project at the moment, so I thought I'd mention it here, in case someone else felt inspired. I think this is a shootout many people refer to when discussing relative performance of languages; getting Cython in there might peak the interest of people who might actually need it, but who don't know it exists... (Sorry for cross-posting -- I guess this might be relevant for both lists.) - M -- Magnus Lie Hetland http://hetland.org _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
