About Language Benchmarks

Language Benchmarks is a web tool that compares programming languages and compilers using benchmark performance results. It provides side-by-side comparisons across languages such as C, Python, Rust, Go, Java, JavaScript, and others, as well as different compilers or runtimes for the same language using the same source code.

You can browse results for benchmark problems including binarytrees, mandelbrot, nbody, fasta, json-serde, http-server, and others. All tests are run in a single CI job so numbers are generated from the same environment at nearly the same time, and the static site is re-generated when changes are merged to the main branch. The site also serves as a reference for CI, development environment, and package management setup.

It suits developers and teams evaluating language performance, comparing compilers or runtimes, or checking performance on server and Docker-based environments.

Language Benchmarks FAQ

Which programming languages are compared?
The site covers Acton, C, C++, Rust, Python, Go, Java, JavaScript, and other listed languages. It also compares different compilers or runtimes for the same language.
How are the benchmark results generated?
All benchmark tests are executed in a single CI job. This keeps results from the same environment at nearly the same time.
Are the language comparisons directly fair?
Not always, as implementations may use different optimizations such as multithreading. The site advises reading the source code to check fairness.
Is something wrong or out of date?
