I wrote a very basic speed test in Swift, Java, JavaScript, C / C++, Python, Ruby, and Perl. Awesome is the speed of Swift. It’s up to two times faster than Java und up to 3 times faster than C / C++ depending which function will be used. For this test I implemented the following simple function:
long sum = 0;
for (Integer n = max; n > 0; n--) {
double foo = n / 17;
sum = sum + n ;
}
I published the test on gitHub. If you want to implement more complex / meaningful tests or found a bug please please contribute some code. ?
