Comparison of Quicksort algorithm in NodeJS and GoLang

Language Execution Time (ms)
Go 12.39 ± 1.99
NodeJS 24.27 ± 1.55

The above table shows the execution time of quicksort algorithm implemented in Go and Node.js languages. It's clear from the results that Go outperforms Node.js in terms of execution time by ~52%.

It is worth noting that the performance of a programming language depends on various factors such as the implementation of the algorithm, the hardware, and the operating system being used. The above results should be taken as a rough estimate and not as a definitive answer.

How to test

GoLang

To run first you need Go.

the correct way is build the app:

go build main.go

then run

./main

but you also can run with:

go run main.go

Node

You also need NodeJS.

JS is a interpreted language, so you only need to run:

node index.js
