I think you're about right on that one. Of course we were running on mono.

Thanks for the comment!

This started out as a small exercise, that quickly ballooned because we were curious about every framework and platform. Obviously we had to stop somewhere, but we're very interested in adding more tests in the future. In fact, we're hoping the community will help us out as well!

We attempted to take advantage of threading/multiple-processes as best we could (see the nodejs code for an example of using the cluster module). But we suspect there are additional areas of improvement here.

All I ever heard about with Java 8 was lambdas (which is understandably the big name new feature), but streams, in my opinion, are just as exciting. Unlike lambdas and they're new syntax, streams seem like something any developer can quickly pick up and start taking advantage of.

Streams, lambdas and the new time API are wonderful additions to Java.
