Hi All,

Not really a Fox question specifically but thought someone here might have an idea on this.

I am wondering just how code execution speed of VFP compares to other languages such as Python and Ruby? Take for example the following 10million times loop:

nStart = SECONDS()
a = 0
b = RAND()
FOR x = 1 TO 10000000
	a = a + b
NEXT
nStop = SECONDS()
? nStop-nStart, X, a

This runs on my machine in VFP in 2.4secs. Any idea how fast it would run in either of the alternative languages?

Thanks,
