Scriptometer Overall Scores
Jul 06, 2004
I do most of my programming in a computer language called Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language). Maybe one day I'll switch; I used to program in C and before that in Basic and never thought I'd put either aside. And people are always urging me to write code in Java. But I detest Java, I really do - the special servers you need to run Java programs (called Runtime Engines, or JRE) are not reliable, and you have to have the right version for the programs you have (which means I have three separate versions now, with another coming since Java 1.5 (also known as Java 5) has been released). Anyhow. This nifty page compares the writing of some basic functions in more than a dozen computer langauges, tests them for efficiency and speed, and more.
