Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game

Owen Densmore
Administrator
Just made my periodic visit to Language Shootout.

Imagine my surprise when I found JavaScript V8 at 2.85! Considering Fortran was the 1.0 and C++ 1.3 that's astounding!  And Ruby 43.80 & Python 47.93 (note JRuby, the Java implementation of Ruby, is faster than Ruby: 34.52)

We have not mistaken JS as being a good bet.  Not sure whether or not Google will keep V8 getting progressively better, especially with Dart in the same race.

Just wanted to point out that the C# tested here was done with the
recently made community Mono engine. Not the mature .NET engine.
