People do whatever they can to "win" on these benchmarks, so the resulting code is often not idiomatic


The recommendation is to write only idiomatic code that implements a certain algorithm without tricks: https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/...

Did you actually see programs that do not follow the guidelines or you're just stating this as what you would expect?

Templating Lua here is probably borderline really.


Seems like those Lua fasta programs should be removed.


What someone else considers to be "idiomatic", you might not consider to be "idiomatic".
