MagLev handles trees like a monkey
- icey 18y agoDid you run any other tests, Anthony? Or just the binary trees test?
- DanHulton 18y agoPretty obviously he did not. As it says in the article, he ran just this test, and while you can't infer too much from a single test, it certainly sets the stage for the upcoming shootout.
- icey 18y agoI wouldn't say pretty obviously. He never said he just ran this test, he said that this is the result from just one test. I'm just curious if this is a cherry-picked result or truly the only test he ran. Cherry-picked or not, the results are very impressive. Edit: After reading again he states he chose this specific test "because it’s the first test" (from the Computer Language Benchmarks Game) does make more sense to me. It just seemed like an odd choice to use for a sole test.
- davidw 18y ago(His name is Antonio, not Anthony, just as your name is ... well, you have no name or contact or anything in your profile, so we'll say your name is 'icey', and not 'ghiacciato')
- icey 18y agoAh, point well made. If I could still edit my other post, I would.
- bprater 18y agoAgain, I think the question continues to be: is MagLev really Ruby?
- artixan 18y agoIf it walks like a duck.....
- Xichekolas 18y ago> You can’t read too much from a single test Then why don't you show us a few more? Surely it wouldn't take that much longer to post the results from three or four tests than it did for just one. Also, any other links about Maglev? Cursory Googling doesn't get me much. I thought I heard that this implementation wasn't open source, etc. Looking forward to the shootout... thanks for whetting our appetites!
