Prechelt, L., "An empirical comparison of seven programming languages", Computer, October 2000, pp. 23-29. Google
23 ;;Quote: compared 7 programming languages with 80 implementations of a phonecode conversion from telephone numbers to words; interpreted, object-oriented, and procedural languages
26 ;;Quote: for initialization, compiled languages fastest and script languages slowest; Java in between
26 ;;Quote: except for Rexx and Tcl, all programming languages had very fast and very slow programs
26 ;;Quote: compiled languages most memory-efficient while Java least memory-efficient; script languages overlap the worst half of the compiled languages
27 ;;Quote: 2-3x shorter programs for scripting languages such as Perl; more comments
27 ;;Quote: programmers 2-3x faster with script languages
27+;;Quote: script programmers used associative arrays while non-script programmers used arrays and 10-ary trees
29 ;;Quote: Java's runtime efficiency is acceptable but it has a huge memory overhead
29+;;Quote: scripting languages are good alternatives; better programmer productivity and acceptable efficiency
