## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 74/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 93, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4342, "days_push": 45, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A collection of cross-language performance benchmarks comparing programming languages on tasks like Brainfuck interpretation, Base64, JSON, matrix multiplication, and prime computation. It measures execution time, memory consumption, and CPU energy usage, with results run via Makefiles and Docker.

## Use cases
- compare performance of programming languages
- benchmark  parsing across languages
- measure memory usage of language runtimes
- compare cpu energy consumption between languages
- find how fast compiled vs interpreted languages are
- benchmark brainfuck interpreter implementations

## When to choose
- you want a consistent, idiomatic comparison of many programming languages
- you need time, memory, and energy measurements from reproducible benchmark runs
- you want reference implementations to port to a new language

## When to avoid
- you need application-level or real-world workload benchmarks
- you need statistically rigorous, vendor-neutral benchmarking methodology
- you need benchmarks for a specific domain like web frameworks or ML

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: benchmarking
- domain: programming-languages, performance, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: language-benchmarks, cross-language-comparison, makefile, energy-measurement, microbenchmarks, linux, docker
