#3With Fortran this is expected, since for language semantics the compiler can perform more assumptions compared to C, resulting into more optimizations.

#5Fortran's always been faster than C

#6Most of Fortran's gain is on mandelbrot, but it sucks on binary-trees (10x slower than C). It also tends to use 2x more memory (with a 23x outlier on fannkuch): http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/benchmark.php?test=al...

#7These reports are worse than useless. Any person with good understanding of computing knows that implementation plays a huge part in it. Why people wasting their time comparing speed of different programming languages while they should focus on different implementations. I guess the latter one is difficult so people all try to avoid it, and the first one is just so easy to do and everybody is doing it.

That fact stands out immensely. The Scala code and java code should be equal as the first can be written exactly like the second. Don't even see Clojure. Hate to see what times they get there.

Sorry, but your Ruby code will never the same speed as C code, even if it is the same implementation. We'd all like to believe all programming languages are equal, but that's not the case.

Except Scala has no 'break' (that isn't a hack using exceptions), this makes imitating imperative style difficult and some syntaxical sugar should no doubt ensure that Scala will always be slower than Java.
