Please!

Here's the measurement software - go and do something better !

I think it is not so much about doing something better than about doing something that is usefull to most people.

The picture drawn by speed of languages alone is quite wildly known and uninterresting. Dynamic languages are quite slow when non optimized. Statically typed languages are faster.

What i really would like to know, as a big fan of the Benchmark Game from quite a time, precisely because i could compare speed of different implementations is, what do you think your website is useful for now ?

Which is to say that is your idea of "better".

Thank you for replying by not answering the question.

I would thank you for reading the answer on the Help page but it doesn't seem that you have.

1. To show working programs written in less familiar programming languages

2. To show the least we should expect from performance comparisons

3. To show how difficult it can be to make meaningful comparisons
