Something not measure that is just as important as speed (if not more so) was how long it took to create a working program in each language.

- wtf_is_up 12y agoAgreed. We must also consider what a pain in the ass it was to set up the toolchains and/or runtimes for several of the tested languages. I'm willing to trade a little performance and do a little extra error checking if it means I can just do: GOARCH=arm go build and then copy the binary over.

The Arch Linux package repository proved really awesome here: for the vast majority of things (everything on x86) I could just `pacman -S myLang`. The hardest to install was SBCL on ARM, as I needed another Common Lisp to compile it, so had to get ClozureCL and use that.
