Not only is it random and baseless, my own personal experience is that
the shootout actually gives a fairly accurate display of what one can
expect on the areas of speed and memory usage.

Less on the side of code size though, because the programs are still too
small to take advantage of some language features designed for large
scale programs.

And I still pray to see D back in the shootout.
