This is an intersting benchmark, although why did you limit the compiled solutions to only C?

I'd be very curious to see higher level compiled languages in these charts, like Rust and Haskell. They would give you the performance of C, but language features of languages such ash Python, thus reducing the pain associated with C programs.

Agreed. I'd be particularly interested in facil vs rust, as they are more comparable (i.e. produce gc free, optimized binaries).
