Comparing Programming Languages

I just found this great tool and I thought I’d share it, it compares performance and memory usage in any two programming languages, it has a good list of languages too.

For example, this is the comparison between PHP and C:

PHP vs Python:

Python vs Ruby:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=python&lang2=ruby

C vs Java:

And finally C vs C++:

    and notice that the up- to-date measurements are being made on a quadcore Q6600

    - x86 programs bound to a single core
    - x86 programs enabled for quad core
    - x64 programs bound to a single core
    - x64 programs enabled for quad core
