How is it possible that ruby is faster than Java? Are they counting jvm startup time or something? That seems rather suspicious to me.

- sanderjd 12y agoThat also struck me. Startup time is a good guess, especially considering that rosetta code snippets tend to be the kind of short programs where startup time dominates run time.
- ptx 12y agoAlso weird is that Java is supposedly more consise than C#. But it turns out they're using "cloc" to measure of "lines of code", which doesn't take into account the fact that C# programs typically put opening braces on a new line.
