mfw Java is 20% faster that your memelanguage

XDDD

MEGA FUCKING WIN

what is mentally wrong with haskell programmers?

Nothing to see here, Haskell is still faster with LLVM codegen.

Using -fllvm and 7.10.2 I get

> 2950ms for ghc (averaged over 10 runs)
> 4079ms for the mean of the fredge version
> 5896ms for ghc without -fllvm

Indeed, with LLVM I get 5532 ms.

Still pretty good for a VM.

>>5
Both Haskell and JVM devour memory like crazy, though.

>>5

JVM is blazingly fast these days.

>>6

Haskell can be horrible in memory usage due to space leaks. When you have a pipeline like: lazy producer | strict transform | lazy consumer.

Memory can build up pretty quickly. Lazy languages have some disadvantages.

That being said, haskell is an excellent language to develop a reference implementation quickly, because you can model high level concepts much easier than in C, which then can be used to verify the faster, but lower level, implementation.

>>7
JVM speed is at the cost of terrible memory usage. It uses up 5-10 times the memory C does.

>>8
That's with good Java code (it does exist, but not common.) More typical bloated enterprisey Java code will be closer to 100x.

The same can be said about BASIC and VAX assembly.

>>10
The same can be said about these dubs.
