The speed, size and dependability of programming languages

by wedesoft —

Guillaume Marceau posted some measurements of speed and code size for different algorithms implemented in various programming languages. The measurements include Ruby, Python, Perl, CMUCL, and YARV.

Lookin’ good, YARV!

More reason to get off 1.8.x and move towards 1.9.1.

What I don’t understand though is how YARV can be more verbose than Python, while Python is more verbose than Ruby 1.8. Well, apart from the ASCII->UTF8 transition YARV certainly seems to be faster.
