Compare the implementation of a simple numerical program in Haskell https://github.com/jmoy/avb-econ-hs/blob/f6d65af480c99045573... to that in Julia https://github.com/jesusfv/Comparison-Programming-Languages-... Despite the Haskell…

10x speedup (same algorithms, same architecture) replacing Java with C++ is not possible (~2x at max). One of the latest benchmarks I've seen is "Comparison of Programming Languages in Economics" [1] for code without any IO just number…

Another interesting comparison from the github repo[1] is the proportions of lines that it took in each language. [1] https://github.com/jesusfv/Comparison-Programming-Languages-...

I almost gasped when I saw that their R code[1] does the bulk of its computations inside a while(...for(...for(...for(...if(...){...}else{...})))) block, instead of using functionals like apply and 'vectorized' operations like ifelse . If…

Their code is on github [1]. I am a C++ programmer so I'm happy that C++ came out on top, but the comparison is obviously flawed (as these sorts of comparisons always are). The problem is that the implementers don't have the same level of…
