anagram

Examples of discovering anagrams in a dictionary, using various programming languages. The script run_all.sh executes all tests including timings. For non-compiled languages it adds the overhead of launching a virtual machine or an interpreter.

These results were produced on my old Centos box with: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ 1 GB RAM

The following command will run all language tests: bash -x run_all.sh &> anagram.log
