Preview 2 – Round 15 – TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks

I'll cross-pollinate my Reddit comment to see if anyone here has something interesting to add. Techempower's benchmarks seem to run on pretty beefy hardware. I'd much rather see how these stacks fare on low-end hardware like little Digital Ocean droplets.

I want...

- A decent language (totally subjective... I don't want to write Java, C, C++, or Ruby... I wouldn't mind writing C#, F#, Kotlin, or Elixir, and I'd love to write Clojure)

- High throughput on cheap servers

- Low resource requirements (e.g. most Erlang frameworks hum along nicely with a few hundred MB whereas some Java frameworks are only happy with a few gigs)

It's hard to garner this information from the benchmarks as they currently stand.
