A community-maintained collection of prime number sieve implementations in 100+ programming languages, used to benchmark and compare language runtime performance. It includes automated build and daily benchmark tooling plus a companion web app (PrimeView) for exploring results.
Use cases
- compare performance of programming languages
- benchmark sieve of eratosthenes implementations
- find prime sieve code in a specific language
- learn how the same algorithm is written across languages
- contribute a prime sieve implementation in a new language
- view cross-language benchmark results
When to choose
- you want to compare runtime speed of many programming languages on the same algorithm
- you want reference implementations of prime sieves in a specific language
- you want a fun community project to contribute a language implementation to
When to avoid
- you need production-grade prime generation or number theory libraries
- you need rigorous, statistically controlled language benchmarks
- you need a general-purpose benchmarking framework for your own code
