While this is a great site for comparing "maximum language speed potential", I think in 2016 it would also be of interest to compare the performance of memory safe implementations as well. This would be particularly relevant for languages like Rust, C++ and Swift. Btw, memory safe C++ implementations of some of those benchmarks can be found here:<p>note shameless plug: <a href="https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus-BenchmarksGame" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus-BenchmarksG...</a>
This page used to be a <i>lot</i> more expansive (including nice charts!) before November 2015, when it was radically stripped down. I think the maintainer lost interest.<p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20151009090721/http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20151009090721/http://benchmarksg...</a>
