# Recursive Fibonacci Benchmark using top languages on Github
Top 10: JavaScript, Python, Java, TypeScript, C#, Php, C++, C, Shell, Ruby [reference](https://octoverse.github.com)
Others: Go, Rust, Swift, Crystal, Pony, Ada, Pascal, Fortran, Kotlin, Clojure, Scala, Mono, R, Dart, Julia, D, Nim, Cython, Python3, PyPy, Ruby jit, OCaml, Lisp, Haskell, Erlang, Elixir, Escript, Dart, Scheme, Lua, Perl, Perl6, Bash, Emoji
The code performs a recursive fibonacci to the 47th position with the result of 2,971,215,073.
Fibonacci can be written many different ways. The goal of this project is to compare how each language handles the exact same code.
Here is the Ruby version:
```
def fib(n)
return n if n <= 1
fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
end
puts fib(47)
```
Here is the Crystal version:
```
def fib(n)
return n if n <= 1
fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
end
puts fib(47_u64)
```
Too keep a level playing field, only common "release" flags are used in the compilation step. This allows for compiler optimizations like inlining and constant propogation but removes anything considered dangerous i.e. bypassing out of bounds checks.
All tests are run on:
- Hetzner CCX23 - 4 vCPU
- Processor: Intel Xeon 3.1Ghz
- Memory: 16 GiB
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- Docker Base Image: ubuntu:24.04
## How to run them
You can run the tests using Docker: `docker run -it drujensen/fib`
By default, it will compile and run all languages 5 times. Totals are calculated by adding the average compile and run times.
To only run a subset of the languages, provide a list of extensions and optionally the count:
`docker run -it drujensen/fib ./run.sh s,c,cpp,go,rs,swift 5`
To run in the background using screen:
```bash
screen
docker run drujensen/fib > results.txt 2>&1
```
- Detach from the session by pressing `Ctrl+A` followed by `D`.
- You can reattach to the session later with:
```bash
screen -r
```
