* > One of the commenters on the original article (https://medium.com/@tarthedark/did-a-custom-bench-between-ht...) changed a few lines of the C# to use some different ASP.NET facilities which more than doubled the reqs/sec and dropped the std dev of latency by 2/3. That provides some evidence that it wasn't really an apples-to-apples comparison. *
It might be intentional. The author of this article is also the the author of the golang Iris framework. Normally I would not automatically discount the benchmark but the author is a well-known bad actor in the golang community.
