For what I known the fastest high level language is Fortran. Besides being the first language high level language and obviously have lots of work of compiler optimization done, it has a very restrictive type system that does not have pointers (or have them in a very restrictive way), so the compiler can do optimizations in arrays that would be unsafe in a language like C.

Comment Re:Sugar cane not corn (Score 1) 894

As shown by the map posted in another link, a lot of the sugar cane is from Sao Paulo, not northeast. There was a lot of subside to create the pro-ethanol program and there was some problems to regulate the prices. (If the price of ethanol is too low in relation with the price of sugar, the producers can prefer to use cane for sugar) But I think it is a positive experience, ethanol can substitute some of the most poluent aditives of gas, and we became less dependent of external oil.
