Its fun to see how these languages handle various benchmark operations but its important to remember that these may not be indicative of real world performance. Heck the differences might not even be noticeable to the average user. Can you really tell the difference between 94ms and 15ms? Probably not. Can you tell the difference between 94ms and 93ms? Obviously not. The nice thing to see is that in general all of these languages are constantly improving in terms of performance (take Java 5 vs Java 6 as an example http://java.sun.com/performance/reference/whitepapers/6_performance.html). This lets developers pick languages that they like as opposed to picking languages because they have to just to get decent performance.

We're all to quick get religious on these matters. Good work, nice to see a comparison of these languages conducted in something approaching a scientific manner.

Thanks very much for your useful post. I just came across your blog and wanted to drop you a note telling you how impressed I was with the information you have posted here. Please let me introduce you some info related to this post and I hope that it is useful for .Net community. There is a good C# resource site, Have alook http://www.csharptalk.com/2009/09/c-array.html http://www.csharptalk.com/2009/10/creating-arrays.html simi hi,

Add to that the fact that Mono has a graphical GUI editor, and is just as cross platform as Java, and I see it as a serious competitor. Those results look fairly clear cut to me.
