Royal Society Industry Fellow

Stefan Marr I am working at the School of Computing at the University of Kent. My work focuses on programming language implementation techniques, complex concurrent systems, and tooling.

Much of work revolves around making interpreters faster, detecting and preventing concurrency bugs at run time, and use modern language runtime systems to provide programmers with better tooling.

Rank 10 Language Implementations

Categories: Research February 13, 2024

Please rank 10 language implementations by their median performance, based on your best guess or estimate.

Boxplot of the performance of 10 language implementations, without labels.

The above plot is based on the performance of 9 microbenchmarks and 5 slightly larger benchmarks, which were design to study the effectiveness of compilers.

Use your best guess:

My goal with this poll is to see what the general performance expectations for various language implementations are.

For questions, comments, or suggestions, please find me on Twitter @smarr or Mastodon.

Thanks for playing!
