...and the fastest server is javascript.

Not that you should choose it over node or bun.sh or deno. I look forward to seeing where bun.sh ends up on the chart.

Currently (well, as of the last benchmark, in July) deno is 0.9%-1.6% of the speed of the fastest options, while faster node options are around 20-40%.


That's pretty shocking. Both that deno is so behind and just is so ahead (even rust/C).

Would love to read what is going on here / what just is doing so much better than deno. I think deno is using a pure js server in that benchmark (vs it's newest/unstable ffi-based one) but, even still, 1% is awful.
