Computer language shootout
I've updated the computer language shootout files. They should be on the website
pretty soon.
I've added the fasta, sumfile, and mandelbrot benchmarks. The fasta benchmark
will be important because its output is important for implementing some of the
other benchmarks.
I need to make a table showing what I've implemented, and whether it is current,
deprecated, or classic. If I keep working on this project, I'll make subfolders
showing this.
If anyone can test these on Linux, that would be appreciated.
Also if anyone has any performance tips I could use those as well. I've tried to
keep a good balance between using Euphoria features and going for the fastest
code I know how to make. But most of the files are copied almost verbatim from C
or another language.
During the testing of the mandelbrot program, I also wrote a tool to help me
check the binary output of my program. It is called bin2hex. Instead of using a
hex editor, I wrote this quick one-off program so I could convert a binary file
to text and be able to open it in my favorite editor (Edita, of course!)
Whoever voted 0.5 microeconomy dollars to the Computer Language Shootout
project, thanks! It renewed my interest in it.
