(Incidentally, thank you for the pleasant conversation.) > … which no one actually has the resources for… That webpage references "JSMeter: Characterizing Real-World Behavior of JavaScript Programs". iirc they instrumented a web browser to collect "real-world" data and demontrated that wasn't like the behavior of benchmark code. That webpage references "A comparison of three programming languages for a full-fledged next-generation sequencing tool" — "reimplemented … in all three languages and benchmarked their runtime performance and memory use." That's in-practice. > … you don't need to write everything in Rust if using Ruby… Performance doesn't matter until it matters. As-in the home page quote and reference — "It's important to be realistic: most people don't care about program performance most of the time." https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/ https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/
