  My thoughts:

  • No mention of Nim in the HN post makes me sad. :<
  • I wonder what memory usage is like on an ARM processor vs an x86_64 processor...
  • How fast are the compilation times for this benchmark for each language?

  I found this benchmark simple and fun. I've now extended my comment on Reddit and done a few more measurements on x86_64 (don't have an ARM device unfortunately). In case you missed the edit, results:

  Lang    Time [ms]  Memory [KB]  Compile Time [ms]  Compressed Code [B]
  Nim          1400         1460                893                  486
  C++          1478         2717                774                  728
  D            1518         2388               1614                  669
  Rust         1623         2632               6735                  934
  Java         1874        24428                812                  778
  OCaml        2384         4496                125                  782
  Go           3116         1664                596                  618
  Haskell      3329         5268               3002                 1091
  LuaJit       3857         2368                  -                  519
  Lisp         8219        15876               1043                 1007
  Racket       8503       130284              24793                  741

  Code size with gzip -9 < nim.nim | wc -c. Removed unused functions in Haskell. Compile times are clean compiles, if you have a nimcache with the standard library precompiled it's only 323 ms for Nim.

  Nice benchmarks. Should put Nim on the map. Good job.
