I like trying different programming languages. For fun, I benchmarked some of them (#commonlisp, #java, #lua, #picolisp) on a simple n-queen task. This is the [repo](https://tangled.org/argo-net.bsky.social/some-pl-benchmarks-1) and this is the [analysis of results](https://argo-net.tngl.io/some-pl-benchmarks-1/). C is the fastest; SBCL is rock solid at 2X C speed; Java starts slow but it reaches C when the problem size increase.
