in reply to The Great Computer Language Shootout

I do not understand why this guy insists on all code implementations being the same. It would be a better comparison if he allowed users to contribute optimized code instead of forcing all code into the same square hole. This is just dumb - if he wants to test a language, allow it to utilize its strengths, not some preconceived notion of what the code *should* look like.
