Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game

Latest shootout results.  

V8 JS still hanging in there well ahead of all the agile gang (ruby/python/etc).  C# seems to be loosing ground to hefty Java, but that could easily be optimization flags.

The python numbers may be unfair: its all python code with no C libraries.  I doubt many python programs are w/o the python wrappers around C code.

HTML 5 is oddly abscent. Though speed tests are kind of cool-relevence and what used in the "reel world" might be slightly more telling--though I think someone had put a few numbers up on the list a few months ago.

Not clear what you mean. HTML5 is a markup language, not a programming language. You can't use it to perform computations.

This benchmark compares the mono C#,  not the MS .NET C#.

Nice. It is commonly known that  interpreters are slower than compilers but it is interesting to have measures and a ranking.

Thanks

From the link, it seems that C is the fastest programming language by
a very wide margin.

Re: Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game

Russell Standish
C's in third spot, just behind C++ and Fortran. There shouldn't be
much difference between C and C++, and there isn't. Fortran has almost
always produced more efficient code, although one should be able to
approach Fortran performance in C and C++ with a little care.

Cheers

Re: Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game

Greg Sonnenfeld
It would be interesting to see this same benchmark done on an Intel C compiler.

Its a bit of a misnomer to compare Intel Fortran to GNU C. GNU C
should probably be compared to GNU F77.

A good thing to think about is how compiler implementation and
optimization will impact performance.
