I'm really excited by Rust because it seems to be one of the most sensible language designs I've seen in a while. Go is nice but has some pretty odd syntax in places. I'm just waiting on Rust to hit 1.0 before I start playing with it more seriously.

A nice ML influenced system programming language, that even has generics, who would guess that?!

Update the Go example to use 1.1 :D

Y'know, That GCC is six years old.[1] Go, Rust, Dart and V8 didn't even exist when it was released. Maybe update that if anything? [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html

And since it's a Mac, it is probably llvm-gcc (GCC with an LLVM backend).

A colleague/friend who is developing neural network software recently switched from gcc 4.2.1 to 4.5 (which is still old) and got a 50% speed increase without touching any code.

Update the Go example to use 1.1 :D

That's the first thing I thought, too. I'd like to see both Go 1.1 and Go 1.0.3 for a comparison (on this benchmark). I'm hoping that before long we'll be able to count on Go being within a factor of 2 of plain C by most benchmarks.

And I'd like to see CPython 3.3 in addition to PyPy.

But it's quite interesting as is. Thanks.
