Good question. I'm about to try setting up Kragen's p2p persistent chat thing. http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-hacks/2012-March/000537.html

Lua: your code looked fine to me. https://github.com/darius/superbench has my own bits of Lua. LuaJIT won my personal bakeoff there for a language with a good mix of productive and fast, but I still haven't actually used it much.

C++: I chose it for a project at Yahoo with a couple of other programmers over several months, because it seemed the right tool for that job, and it worked out fine with few surprises. No longer a nightmare! Still not worth learning really well, to me.

Curiously, blockfreq runs surprisingly slowly, and actually seemed slower with luajit. I wonder what gives. too much data in the heap maybe? haven't done any profiling.

Dunno -- I'd try turning blocks() into an iterator (or just inlining it if I were in a hurry).

I didn't recognize you in that photo at first glance. :)
