I'm also interested in this, so I made one. The java source is made as
similar to the Euphoria's sieve.ex (still uses 0 and 1 instead of
false and true, still uses 1-based arrays instead of 0, etc).

And the results are:

> d:\prog\eu-2.5\bin\exwc c:\euphoria\demo\bench\sieve.ex
prime sieve benchmark ...
30816.7 sieves per second
...

> java EuSieve
prime sieve benchmark ...
96133.3 sieves per second
...

Java 1.5 is 3x faster than Eu 2.5!

And after that I realized that Eu 2.5 includes a different sieve.ex,
so I made another one.

> d:\prog\eu-2.5\bin\exwc d:\prog\eu-2.5\demo\bench\sieve8k.exw 90000
Prime Sieve Benchmark
Count: 1028
time: 35.32

> java EuSieve2 90000
Prime Sieve Benchmark
Count: 1028
time: 13.75

Java is still 3x faster...

For your reference I attached the java files, with original Eu program
as comments.

BTW, both Java and Eu 2.5 uses bytecodes while running the program,
why do you think Eu is so much slower?
