Be careful when interpreting benchmark measurements that compare two languages or two implementations of the same language. A program expressed in two different languages rarely computes the exact same function in both cases. The same goes for a program run on two different implementations of the same language. The implementation details ultimately affect the language semantics as well as the benchmark performance. Here are some simple examples of this effect.
