motive Jealousy?
and I dare say Java does suffer from that even more
I've never used C or C++ so I probably don't mix with enough of those guys to say, but the impression I got was of, shall we say, 'assertive confidence'. -snip- than GHC -snip-
then we are being unfair to Haskell by 0.002s on every test - we only show measurements to 0.01s!
And you take the average of how many runs?
See the FAQ "How did you measureĀ ?" http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/faq.php#measure -snip-
So I don't consider timings of such short tasks very reliable
So look at the tasks where the fastest program takes seconds and needs more than 5 lines of code :-) -snip-
And though I've no reason to suppose it would help Haskell, for the same reasons, I'd like the fannkuch benchmark changed to Pfannkuchen(10).
That's been shown for Gentoo/Intel since at least December http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/fulldata.php?test=fannkuch&p1=gcc-0&p2=ghc-2&p3=gcc-0&p4=ghc-2 -snip-
Unfortunately, often the desire for speed wrecks elegance
Contribute elegant slower programs and maybe we'll show them - we're currently showing two C++ sum-file programs, one's ~25x faster than the other. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
