There is a Basic implementation at (2, 2), which I suppose few people would expect to see there. The open-source group behind the FreeBASIC compiler deserve much more recognition than they are getting.

Being at (2, 2) means it is closer to the concise yet fast corner.

It's based on old 2005 data from http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/. Too bad the updated 2009 graphs don't cover FB.

You beat me to it.

I just found this comparison as well and popped in to share it.

Go FB, go.

Well that would have made you third on these forums, there is another post about it in the General forum :P

Pretty cool none the less.

Oops, wrong site. Look for "BASIC FreeBASIC", underneath "ATS" and "ADA 2005 GNAT" near the top.
