Retired Microsoft Engineer Davepl writes the same ‘Primes’ benchmark in Python, C#, and C++ and then compares and explains the differences in the code before racing them head to head to see what the performance difference is like between the languages.

Thanks to the Simpsons for the inevitable reference or two that I throw in now and then! See if you can spot both in this episode!
