The Are-we-fast-yet suite is optimized for inter-language comparisons and sets the focus on ideomatic language use and representative algorithms. There is a peer-reviewed scientific publication; here is a preprint: https://stefan-marr.de/papers/dls-marr-et-al-cross-language-...

The 2.0 version produced errors like "uninitialized constant Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC (NameError)"; from that I concluded that it is not compatible. I still had to apply a fix (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9578) to make Ruby 2.1.0 compile on my test machine. Here is a report version where I compare with Ruby 2.7 instead of 2.1: http://software.rochus-keller.ch/are-we-fast-yet_crystal_rub...

Benoit (eregon) is the second author of that paper.

Well, apparently he does not want to be recognized; without your hint I would not have figured it out (there is also no indication in the profile). At least I don't have to convince him of the benchmark's quality.

EDIT: surprised to learn that his group is responsible for the GraalVM and even located in Zurich (https://labs.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=LABS:project_details:0:...) which is not far from the place I live; it's a small world ;-)
