Are We Fast Yet? Comparing Language Implementations with Objects, Closures, and Arrays

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your work. I think this is very useful.

I think R would be a very nice addition, because the semantics / 
optimization challenges are so different to languages like Ruby and 
JavaScript.
And it would help us a lot finding out were we currently stand with 
FastR compared to the other languages.
