It is more informative than nothing. It shows different languages implementing the same functions and the performance of those. It is something to compare to. Maybe they can all be optimized, etc. But you need to have some kind of starting point. I think people tend to poo-poo benchmarks (unless their fav language at top) and claim they don't represent real world. But I always argue that they at the very minimum give you some context for comparison. If you look at how they are implemented you can get further context. I only wish the benchmarks had some metric for how idiomatic the implementation is compared to normal developers. |

Maybe the benchmarks game website kind-of does — source code size.
Otherwise "I only wish…" so — wishful thinking.
Otherwise "how idiomatic" seems to mean — how I would implement the program today, if I didn't care [goldilocks] too much about performance?
(Incidentally "normal developers" doesn't seem to be stretching towards inclusive.)
