I don't see that there is a requirement about source. It can be anything, provided it's easily instalable by one of the means below. So it could be a repackaged J runtime in a tar.gz with a simple Makefile to install by copying files. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/faq.php Quote: >>> Why don't you include my favourite language? Can the language implementation be used to write most of our benchmark programs? Must have A Debian package (either from Debian itself, or the primary authors of the language) or a Gentoo ebuild or build and install with ./configure && make && make install and a default target of /usr/local. Command-line argument handling. 32-bit Integers. Double precision floating point numbers. Line-oriented read & write from stdin & stdout. Documentation.
Should have Buffered stdio. Dynamic hash tables and sequences (arrays or lists). Exception handling. Regular Expressions (preferably Perl compatible). Concurrency (threads, coroutines, …) TCP/IP Sockets. <<< End of Quote ----- Original Message ---- From: "Miller, Raul D" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Programming forum <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 5:03:56 PM Subject: RE: [Jprogramming] Fannkuch benchmark Samuel Tardieu wrote: ... ... > I'm surprised not to see J entries in the Shootout benchmark.
