What is the most fun and shocking to me to browse the code https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks to see just how unergonomic and messy the code gets in something like this. 20 something files in 10 directories fiddled with config files isn’t uncommon.

Of the bunch, by only looking at the code, which of them would you like to get dumped on you 2 weeks before a deadline? Which is the most ergonomic?

Yeah, the benchmark is no longer useful due to all the micro-optimizations in the code that never happen in the real world.

Most of them check the Nth letter of the HTTP method to do routing, hard code the content-length, etc. This benchmark shows which language is the fastest to throw the hardcoded data into the socket.

Meantime, Django[1] is the simplest and a real-world application.
