But I psaoenrlly consider arrays and hashes to be data structures, not primitive data types.

Thats identical to the autobox example I gave in my other post, so not bad at all! (for both autobox and Ruby 1.9.1 !!)

I didn’t bother testing it with Python from here because the Python that ships with Mac OSX Tiger is notoriously slow for some reason and it wouldn’t have been fair to compare it to the Perl times (which comes in on average at 0.85 secs using my own compiled 5.10.1 here).

The Ruby example requires 1.9.1. Don’t have that or Clojure loaded here but based on times given in the blog posts it doesn’t look likely that they will beat the Perl times.

And I couldn’t get the ruby example to run (I’m guessing it didn’t work on 1.8.6).
