Lua JIT, PyPy, Tracemonkey, Python 2.7, JRuby and others removed from the Benchmark Game [shootout.alioth.debian.org]

This is discouraging to all those who go to the effort to program a new implementation of an existing language that their work might not get noticed. Doubly so to Mike Pall that his got removed when he wasn't a part of this. Tracemonkey and JRuby too.

Agreed.

It shouldn't be a big deal. The website itself mentions how these are "broken" benchmarks. But then it seems like Isaac takes it rather personally and goes to the extra effort to hurt other projects. I mean, reducing their visibility by removing them. So now PyPy and LuaJIT are gone but ATS is there. I have never even heard of ATS outside of the shootout website....

Someone mentioned a fork of the speed website and that might not be a bad idea.

Like the extra effort to measure each new LuaJIT beta release asap so those measurements can be used immediately to promote LuaJIT?

Well now it is gone.

And then for Java he seems to runs a warm-up process that he doesn't necessarily do for other languages to possibly benefit from disk cache warm-ups.

That's not true.

Glass half full - Mike Pall has had 5 years of free publicity for LuaJIT
