twenty eight twelve

I like to tinker with Node.js. Ted Dziuba doesn’t anymore. He thinks node.js is a cancer.
Obviously, a few people disagree – Joshua Kehn and Brian Beck. Ignoring all issues of relevance or flaimbait…and even ignoring all issues of original intent of the article, I was curious to see how C# under ASP.NET MVC3 fared in this little shootout.

I set up a simple MVC application. One controller. It looks like this:

public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private int Fib(int? n){
            if (n < 2)
            {
                return 1;
            }
            else
            {
                return Fib(n - 2) + Fib(n - 1);
            }
        }

        public string Index(int? n)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(n.ToString()))
            {
                n = 2;
            }
            return Fib(n).ToString();
        }
    }

I ran it on an instance of IIS6.

$ time curl http://localhost/?n=40
default
real    0m0.343s
user    0m0.015s
sys     0m0.015s

Not too bad really. Haskell, however, is super duper fast – as Mathias Biilmann shows.

There’s a little fun for a Tuesday morning.
