So LuaJIT beats D on some or all of those benchmarks?  I can't quite
remember what your website URL is.
But I did find this:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=luajit&lang2=gpp
I was thinking LuaJIT would be too new and/or fringe for it to be on
the Alioth shootout, but it's there.

benchmarks.  You disagree with those results?
