Does dotimes force evaluation?,
if so, then the Clojure version is about twice as fast for me...
which would be nice to finally find a good dynamic programming
language that is also
nice and fast :-)
the code I tested is this:
(def HHQ [{:id 1956, :firstname "Piet", :lastname
"Puk", :programming_skills #{:java, :php, :closure}}
{:id 2000, :firstname "Blaat", :lastname
"Aap", :programming_skills #{:java, :php, :python}}
{:id 2020, :firstname "Jaap", :lastname
"Klaas", :programming_skills #{:cobol, :php, :skala}}])
(time
(dotimes [n 1000000]
(into {} (for [x HHQ :when ((x :programming_skills) :java)]
[(x :id) (str (x :firstname) " " (x :lastname))]))))
vs the python version
HHQ = [{'id': 1956, 'firstname': "Piet", 'lastname': "Puk",
'programming_skills': set(['java', 'php', 'closure'])},
{'id': 2000, 'firstname': "Blaat", 'lastname': "Aap",
'programming_skills': set(['java', 'php', 'python'])},
{'id': 2020, 'firstname': "Jaap", 'lastname': "Klaas",
'programming_skills': set(['cobol', 'php', 'skala'])}]
import time
start = time.time()
for i in range(1000000):
dict([(x['id'], (x['firstname'] + " " + x['lastname'])) for x in HHQ
if 'java' in x['programming_skills']])
end = time.time()
print end - start
