Line 89:
::::You really want to leave timings out except for the most general of comparitive terms, without the use of numbers and without changes in language or run environment is preferable to stop "miss-use".--
:::::Correct. If language-language speed comparisons of particular problems is truly desired, I'd need to set up some kind of controlled conditions. That would be painfully difficult to do properly and securely, considering competing interests and need to get language-specific tuning parameters correct. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 12:57, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
::::::Also, the optimizations needed to get good speed (sometimes even just decent speed) out of certain tasks would make them hard to read, which IIRC was an important consideration. [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] 00:36, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
