I'm sorry about the reply I made a few days ago -- it doesn't seem to address what you wrote. >>limited utility<< I don't think there's anything on the website that suggests the benchmarks game provides some sort of perfect, definitive and ultimate statement about anything at all. On the contrary -- "Here you'll find provisional facts about the performance of programs written in ≈24 different programming languages for a dozen simple tasks." >>useful toward real software development<< That would be depend on how well informed the "real" software developers are, and there seem to be plenty of programmers with strange ideas about languages they haven't used.
