    Crazy Saturday thought: if you were to create an alternative to the Benchmark Game web site, what would you change?

        • Test error handling/boundary conditions/sanitizer results as well (would be reported as a failure for that round like the tech empower rounds) • Final score would be aggregate across a several operating systems, perhaps even CPU architectures.

        Plus 1. Needs to be done across multiple OS'es and CPU types to get a good idea. Probably with multiple core counts as well from 1 to 128 to get an idea of how solutions scale as well.

        It's not about programming languages, but instead, techniques.

        Could you unpack that a bit? Or more precisely, how would that manifest as a concrete change to the existing Benchmark Game?

        I wouldn't let people keep optimizing the same benchmarks. I'd introduce new tasks, and the game would be how quickly they could make efficient code.

        Somehow add an idomaticness score. I like the scores on 'Completely Unscientific Benchmarks'.

        For one: allow implementations of new languages like Nim instead of refusing to add them for some reason.

        Maybe do the benchmark game but all entries have to be in wasm?
