The Computer Language Benchmarks Game

The Computer Language Benchmarks Game (formerly called The Great Computer Language Shootout) is a free software project for comparing how a given subset of simple algorithms can be implemented in various popular programming languages.

The project consists of:

• A set of very simple algorithmic problems
• Various implementations to the above problems in various programming languages
• A set of unit tests to verify that the submitted implementations solve the problem statement
• A framework for running and timing the implementations
• A website to facilitate the interactive comparison of the results
