Too bad Objective-C's not in there.
Won't these vary a bit based on other factors, though? For example, I
suspect JavaScript as interpreted by Mozilla is a bit faster than
JavaScript as interpreted by IE.
Any speed test that puts gcc on top is worthless, anyway :)
Nearly all software is primarily I/O bound these days anyway. It
doesn't really matter if your program takes 1 or 50 msec (dramatized
for effect) to handle some event, the user isn't going to notice. And
as I said, when you do have a situation where a particular part of your
application is CPU bound, then write that small portion in a language
that optimizes that kind of scenario well (C, ObjC, Fortran, ...) and
link it in to your agile development language (Python, Ruby, Lua, ...)
as an extension.
