> language vs. language

Where there are few enough programs that readers should check that the programs they compare seem appropriate for their purpose.



Well, it's your site, so you can do what you want with it, but I don't believe what you just wrote is logical at all. Sometimes, you just want to see, in general, how one language compares to another when one uses intrinsics and the other doesn't, without having to click through every single benchmark across multiple versions to find one without intrinsics. This is just bad UX and waste of time.


> one uses intrinsics and the other doesn't

Why? Did you mean both use intrinsics or both don't?

> Sometimes, you just want to see

As-it-says, look for more-secs less-gz-source-code -- probably less optimised.


Surely you wouldn’t say that if the language you wanted to win had SIMD API :)
