Inspect the verbatim, idiomatic source implementations for all 15 major programming languages across all 7 benchmark experiments (Nyx, C, C++, Rust, Zig, Mojo, Vale, Go, LuaJIT, Node.js, C#, Java, PHP, Ruby, Python).
1. Locally Executed & Verified: The benchmark harness in /benchmark actively compiles and runs Nyx, C (GCC 14.2 -O3), Rust 1.97, Node.js 22, PHP 8, and Python 3.13 directly on physical hardware using nanosecond counters (QueryPerformanceCounter / time.perf_counter_ns()).
2. Standard Multi-Language Dataset: Comparative results for Zig, Mojo, Vale, Go, LuaJIT, C#, Java, and Ruby are integrated from the official open-source repository andrewmcwattersandco/programming-language-benchmarks under identical x86_64 execution conditions.
Measures runtime entry point overhead, dynamic link loading, and memory segment initialization across all 15 languages.
