A 600-run Claude Code benchmark building a mini Git across 13 languages found Ruby, Python, and JavaScript were the fastest.

@WaffleFries yep, this mostly measures first-pass generation cost, not what happens once the codebase starts changing. A typed language can be slower and pricier up front, but it will catch stuff like missing parent / null cases earlier when the code starts getting touched a lot.
