Just made my periodic visit to Language Shootout. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/which-programming-languages-are-fastest.php
Imagine my surprise when I found JavaScript V8 at 2.85! Considering Fortran was the 1.0 and C++ 1.3 that's astounding! And Ruby 43.80 & Python 47.93 (note JRuby, the Java implementation of Ruby, is faster than Ruby: 34.52) We have not mistaken JS as being a good bet. Not sure whether or not Google will keep V8 getting progressively better, especially with Dart in the same race. -- Owen
