VM vs Static compiles.

[Phil Marsh]

HI Brian,
Interesting post. I'm wondering how these benchmarks are run - what
operations are they measuring?
I'm messing around with optimizer algorithms running on a 44core old server
to find solutions for circuit modeling and later will apply them to circuit
design.
Really want to look into cluster computing.
I prefer C++ because it's so old it has a large choice of libraries - e.g.
Pagmo2 for optimization and Qt for GUI. Intel tbb is good for C++
multithreading.
I'd like to look into Rust at some point because it has safe treatment of
memory.
So C++ still beats Rust by a small margin?
Surprising that NodeJS beats Python by such a large multiple.
If I may, what computational problems are you looking to solve if this is
more than just satisfying your curiosity?
Thanks,
Phil
