I've also found that the Computer Language Benchmarks Game benchmarks tend to be less and less representative of real workloads, due to what the benchmarks do and to the philosophy of "write it to make it fast, not idiomatic, and parallelize things that would typically not be parallelized". Just taking a look at the benchmark code makes it clear it's very far from idiomatic Ruby code.

I think it's unfortunate that you've chosen to make such vague disparaging comments.

Presumbly you can show us 2 lists: which of them are your idea of "idiomatic" and which are not ?

Merry Christmas.
