Computer Language Shootout - concurrency

[Peter-Henry Mander]

... 15th place between C# and Java, beating Java memory consumption 2:5,
and close to C# memory consumption. Python, Perl and Ruby are far
behind.

That's not bad at all! The languages I recognise that do better are
compiled to native binary and don't use GC.

In the overall statistics the Haskell GHC results appear awesome, but
mainly due to 'sum-file', 'startup' and 'random'. Remove those and the
missing tests in the overall scores and the match is a lot closer:

Haskell 38.75 vs. Erlang HiPE 30.91

Note that C gcc falls to 24.65 with these criteria.

So, beware of benchmarks, you can make them say whatever you want.

Pete.

P.s. "Lies, damn lies and statistics!"
