Benchmarking different languages for size and speed

Executable size and performance vs. C?

I just wrote a small Rust program to solve an Euler Project problem. We are talking about 29 lines of code. On an Arch Linux system, using Rust 1.6, the compiled executable, compiled with rustc -O --crate-type bin is 627KB. The same program in C is 8.8 KB. The C version runs in .155 seconds on a Thinkpad X-250. The Rust version is about 3x slower. Given the home-page marketing of "blazingly fast" and the chatter about a leaner runtime system, due to the lack of a GC, I'm more than a bit surp…

This thread inspired me to create this repo to benchmark different languages lol.
