All of the languages now have that trash in them. I'd like a "naive" benchmarks game where you write the code straight forwardly in a normal style for the language.
Not hard to do, I once took some C code, naively converted it to python [0] and it took hours instead of seconds to run.
[0] I wanted to output an image and the C code only ran statistics so I would have had to figure out some random C image library which wasn’t how I wanted to spend my day.
