Comment on Ask HN: Fastest language for iteration and arrays manipulation?

Comments

    query a redis db
General rule: if you're looking for "fastest", pulling data over the network is not part of the solution.

As for the choice of language, it's going to be heavily motivated by what languages you (or your team) know how to benchmark and optimize. It doesn't matter if, say, Befunge is the "fastest" if you don't have anybody working on it that can optimize it.

Basically the network query is done before the computing tasks, the network remark is very true. I don't know cpp, only java php and js but I know I need to learn a new one for this task, I'm just wondering which one.
