It'd be nice to also have a "lines of code" comparison, because i can see how some benchmarks are at the top but after looking at the code they also tend to be quite "manual".


We do plan to start tackling that other dimension, efficiency. Source lines of code is one objective measure that, for all its faults, we plan to include.

In a previous round, I pasted the relevant code directly into the results view. I will likely do that again soon since it's convenient for the reader.

For the time being, I invite you to browse the Github repository and examine the test implementation source.


gzipped source size in generally considered a better measure of effort than actual LOC. The reason for this is that the languages with a lot of boiler plate usually have tooling, IDE's etc to make that pain go away, and gzipped source, while still counting repeated boiler plate end up weighing it less than unique lines of code.
