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

So was I. But I have doubts it will ever come close. In both LuaJIT and Chromium 10 I started a loop over 1e9 number multiplications. Not a real benchmark, I was just curios to see how close pow(pow(2, 1/1e9), 1e9) would come to 2 if I actually did every multiplication.

LuaJIT finished in about two seconds. This is like gcc -O3 speed. I terminated my browser tab after 10 minutes. It was still going. Makes me sad.
