One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
we have no idea whether those benchmarks would be representative of our actual bottlenecks - if anything, i would assume they aren't
security issues that comes with writing in C probably overcome any benefit
the cost of hosting is almost always trivial compared to the salary of good developers, so you are probably optimizing the wrong thing if switching to a lower level makes your team 2% or more less productive & happy
For example hosting Ruby is definitely more expensive than most other languages, it still does not matter at all in the grand scheme of things

Of course, I never intended this to be a be all end all benchmark(as I said in the final notes, it is rather simplistic), I just figured these results might be of some interest to other people.
Those are interesting points, especially about the costs of hosting with Ruby. Thanks for reading!

Fair enough.
I think benchmarks should be used by library and framework authors to improve their software.
As app developers, we should mostly care only about how good the API & documentation & community is.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

There are also hobby projects where all those things dont matter much ;)
How do you manage to have heavy loads for your hobby projects, impressive 😛?
Hobby projects dont have heavy loads, i would say ;) They are just about having fun.
