Hi all,

Somebody (I think bearophile) mentioned a while back that they 
had a folder with all the D solutions from Rosettacode.

I'm looking for some small stand-alone compiler benchmarks, so 
I'd very much appreciate if whoever it was could contact me via 
mail.

Thanks,
David

Yes, I have such archive and I think it can be useful for your 
purposes, but it requires some care, so I think it's better to 
meet a moment on IRC in #D.

Later,

Nothing exciting, but I tried to port the Java implementations of 
the benchmark game [1] to D. [2]
My focus was to use the same algorithm/abstraction used in the 
Java implementation.
I haven't finished the porting of all benchmarks but you can use 
them if they help you.

May I ask you what you try to do?
It sounds a bit we share some intent.
My intent with that repo is to build a little benchmarking 
platform to compare languages, compilers and algorithms.
My primary goal for now is to compare the benchmark game 
implementations of Java to see how D performs against them in 
terms of compilation time and performance.

But it's a hobby project to get to write some D code for learning 
purposes first of all.
And it will come forward very slowly because I don't intent to 
put much effort/time into it.

So you are missing most of the point of using D, and you are 
perhaps even relying too much on the D GC, that is much worse 
than the JavaVM GC.

I am aware of the D GC issue and know that I need to take another 
route to get the most out of D, but to compare languages it's 
also interesting to see how they compare with similar 
implementation.

The GC might never be as performant as Java's but it's nice if 
you can estimate to what extent it is slower and maybe trace 
improvement of the GC implementation over time.

The usual way of microbenchmarking is another perspective which 
should be looked into too but this viewpoint might show 
weaknesses better and might lead to clues on what should/can be 
improved.

Yeah that would indeed be nice to have.
