Implementation study based on CyberUnits Bricks reveals Object Pascal to be faster than other languages

CyberUnits Bricks was the basis of an implementation and performance study that has recently been published in ADCAIJ (Advances in Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence Journal).

In this study, we compared several programming languages that are commonly used in biomedical research (S in the R implementation and Python) or that are optimized for speed (Swift, C++ and Object Pascal). In benchmarking experiments with two prototypical feedback loops, we found the implementations in Object Pascal to deliver the fastest results.
