Anything fast in Python needs to be written in another language, and if your day job isn't multiplying matrices, then you're probably SoL. Assume the author knows about BLAS, and that the point is to benchmark the language not the

Because humans read and write the uncompressed code. Gzip will hide problems like copy paste.

Kolmogorov complexity is absolutely the wrong metric. It doesn't account for big-O, timing, and many other production requirements. You'll never have a perfect metric here, but human readable size of code base is well justified. D

IMO, uncompressed bytes is a better representation, because it can be used to compare relative expressive power for the particular problem. I'd bet Python cleans house here, but the write-only languages are a wild card.

It demonstrates that Python needs libraries like NumPy. Few problems are more heavily optimized than matrix multiplication in practice, so comparing matrix multiplication benchmarks across languages with NumPy is not representative of real-
