Right, the specific code that he wrote he claims ran as fast as C++. What type of code is this? Benchmarking program language speed is a very, very tricky thing because it is so multidimensional.
- Were they both multi-threaded or Single-threaded?
- What libraries were each one using?
- Was it mostly IO, network, or user interaction?
- Is he measuring load times, processing times, run/wait ratios?
- What level of compiler optimization where they both using?
- Was the program large or small?
There's a reason they call it the "Computer Language Benchmark Game": http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/
- igouy 17y agoYes, there are several reasons it's called the benchmarks game and although you can read it the way you have, it's more to do with having a lot of spectators and some regular players, and more to do with a weariness with fatal shootouts.
