One strange thing I notice right off the bat is that one metric the author is using to compare is Lines of Code (where smaller is better):

>.NET Core MVC Application, written using 86 lines of code...

>Iris MVC Application, written using 27 lines of code...

But the files are formatted differently...

In C#:

    public void Delete(int id)
    {
    }

In Go:

    func (vc *ValuesController) Delete() {}
