HTML 5 is oddly abscent. Though speed tests are kind of cool-relevence and what used in the reel world might be slightly more telling--though I think someone had put a few numbers up on the list a few months ago. On Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 9:28 PM, Owen Densmore o...@backspaces.net wrote: Latest

Not clear what you mean. HTML5 is a markup language, not a programming language. You can't use it to perform computations. *-- Russ Abbott* *_* *** Professor, Computer Science* * California State University, Los Angeles* * Google voice:

Nice. It is commonly known that interpreters are slower than compilers but it is interesting to have measures and a ranking. Thanks 2012/3/18 Owen Densmore o...@backspaces.net Latest shootout results. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=alllang=all V8 JS still

From the link, it seems that C is the fastest programming language by a very wide margin. On 3/19/12, Owen Densmore o...@backspaces.net wrote: Latest shootout results. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=alllang=all

C's in third spot, just behind C++ and Fortran. There shouldn't be much difference between C and C++, and there isn't. Fortran has almost always produced more efficient code, although one should be able to approach Fortran performance in C and C++ with a little care. Cheers On Tue, Mar 20, 2012
