The Computer Language Benchmarks Game

How can we benchmark a programming language?
We can't - we benchmark programming language implementations.

How can we benchmark language implementations?
We can't - we measure particular programs.

How is the game scored?
On 3 measures - CPU time, MEMORY use and SOURCE CODE size.
(The example benchmarks also apply to NT based systems...)
