The first video brought many visitors and contributors here initially, so we're linking to it for convenience: Background This project was an unplanned spin-off from the video linked to above, in which Dave drag-races three programming languages (C#, C++ and Python) to compare their relative speeds, using the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to identify prime number up to a certain limit. He posted the source code of his implementations online (in the first incarnation of this repo, in fact), after which many, many people engaged with the idea and started opening PRs to add alternative implementations - whether in approach and/or language - to the collection. As Dave has a YouTube channel to run, he decided to seek help with managing this. Status Since the second quarter of 2021, the Primes project has been owned and managed by its current maintainers, Rutger van Bergen and Tudor Marghidanu. We now have more than 100 distinct programming languages in the collection - and more if meaningful variations are considered -, tooling to execute automated builds and (daily) benchmarks, and an in-browser app to explore the results thereof.
