1. Shootout
So I've posted my Great Computer Language Shootout work so far in the archive.
It's not much yet.

2. Shootout
I've sent in the update to RDS for the Great Computer Language Shootout. I've
removed the subdirectories in the zip file and I've added a test harness called
bench.ex.
This is still all very rough stuff, though.
Although I am very slow at updating I am still working on this project. Thanks
to those who have donated micro-economy money.
I've had to re-build the SW on my desktop machine recently. Hopefully in the
coming weeks I can again get Linux up and working correctly to run the benchmarks
according to the official website's methodology and post the results somewhere on
the web.
Note regarding the nbody problem -- although I did not include them in the
archive I tried a few versions of the program that used sequence operations
instead of loops and that tried to remove some levels of subscripting. I found
those versions were all slower than the current version using loops.
