You should try ruby 1.9 and see what happens…

C++ gets faster in cases where you can achieve the same end result by writing the code in a C++ specific way which is not available in other languages. For example, do the following:

Find a sequence of 4 bytes inside a byte array of 256 bytes. Java and C++ solutions has to be coded differently to make C++ faster. Solution is left to the user as exercise.

Similarly, have a sophisticated algorithm where you need OUT parameters. For java, you would have to work around it. C++ gives that capability naturally.

Another case: Try to control the floating point processor for math operations in Java (Can you make Java throw Exception on division by zero?). In Visual C++ you can do that too.

Hey

php with the http://eaccelerator.net/ is 4 – 5 x quicklier. you need more memory but i think it’s ok. the result from the (example) 32 mb is performance.

when you published a benchmark, please optional with php eaccelerator.

in the other situation is the benchmark not fair and correct!

Eh … Well … I know my comment was a little offensive. I know that you’re a facebook developer and you’re all big php fans so I guess you’re a little subjective. Excuse my english.

Oh, say something like this, perhaps. Java's really about the same speed as C++ for most stuff these days.
