I posted the link to the Shoot-out site as it seemed like a fair attempt at being scientific and objective; the OS is constant, they seem to offer benchmarks on 4 different hardware platforms, and the code being used is available for viewing and (as far as I can tell) anyone can post a better version if they think they can do it better. It'd be nice if someone added an alpha-beta tree searcher algorithm, and a zobrist hashing algorithm; then we'd have a much better idea of how language speed affects typical game programming tasks. Any students here with time for that?
