Additionally, there are multiple reasons why one programming language might have nine different programs: -The programs could have been written by someone who prefers to make small iterations and perform many submissions instead of someone who likes to make bigger changes with fewer submissions. -The programs could be submitted by a novice who needs to make more submissions than would be required by a pro. -The programming language may be older and has had more submissions. -The programming language may be more actively changing and requires more updates in order to fix old programs. -The programmers may also be making more submissions to improve other characteristics like memory usage, code size, code readability, compatibility, etc... that are unrelated to performance.
