This is an updated version of Doug Bagley's original Great Computer Language Shootout (link 2), updated with new languages and revised to work with modern compilers.

Originally, the project goal was to compare all the major scripting languages. Later, compiled languages were added for comparison and now are a major component of the benchmark.

The project goals have not changed substantially since Doug's original project. This work is continuing so that we all can learn about new languages, compare them in various (possibly meaningless) ways, and most importantly, have some fun!

Someday, maybe, the results we present might be meaningful, but please take the current results with a grain of salt. You might get different results on a different OS, on different hardware, with newer releases of the languages, or even from run to run of the same test. You might even find that horrible bugs still lurk in the testing method.
