How come there are no entries for Julia on the Benchmarks Game? http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/ Given Julia's good performance, it is a little strange. :)

Inclusion is by selection of the admin [1,2]. There are Julia implementations available for most of the benchmarks [3] so perhaps eventually they will be included.

Interesting! Does that mean the Benchmarks Game is not open for new languages? The faq entry is kind of ambiguous.

It means -- "If you're interested in something not shown on the benchmarks game website then please take the program source code and the measurement scripts and publish your own measurements."

Like this guy did -- https://pybenchmarks.org/
