AoC is great. But I also think that it's a missed opportunity to measure productivity and runtime performance of programming languages. In "Benchmarks Game" you get extremely optimized programs which is not usually achievable by an average developer. On AoC you would get a wide distribution of submissions and you could get the right estimate of how performant are the programs submitted by PHP, Python, or Rust developers. I guess we wouldn't get to see people abusing mpz_add on Python or PHP that often. |

You get what people choose to contribute — if you want to see Python or PHP programs that don't use GMP then please contribute those programs.
The benchmarks game shows up-to 10 programs for each language implementation: some will be all about performance, some will be about the language, some will be about program size.

Sort by gz and notice the Chapel programs seem to be written to show program size rather than performance:
