Techempower Framework Benchmark Round 17

The new result is up, as usual the most important thing is database update benchmark

Top rankers for this time is Rust, Java, C, C#, Go, and C++, the rest has some error or ranked lower than that. Here's some result of multiple queries benchmark:

TechEmpower Framework Benchmark Round 15

As usual, the only one matters are data updates and multiple queries.

Top ranker languages are C, C++, Java, C#, Dart, Python, Go, Perl, Scala, Javascript.

Top ranker language for multiple queries: Dart, Java, C++, C, Kotlin, Rust, Ur, Go.

Dart seems to be getting more and more popularity, since a framework for cross platform mobile app: Flutter is very usable.

TechEmpower Framework Benchmark Round 14

New benchmark result is out, as usual the important part is the data-update benchmark:

At that chart, the top ranking language are: Kotlin, C, Java, C++, Go, Perl, Javascript, Scala, C#; and for the database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.

Also the other benchmark that reflect real world case is multiple-queries:

On that benchmmark, the top performer programming language are: Dart, C++, Java, C, Go, Kotlin, Javascript, Scala, Ruby, and Ur; and the database: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL. You can see the previous result here, and here.

Faster than Go? Yes, plenty

Is there anything that faster than Go? yes, there are plenty, but I'm not sure if it would be fun to code with.. What are they?

G-WAN

G-WAN is closed-source web application server (not a language like Go). If I'm not mistaken G-WAN caches GET request, so second hit within few ms won't execute the backend function, practically this is cheating for benchmark (not merged), but for real application this feature quite great (can cope up with DDOS attack) :3 Btw did I mention that this web application server support whole lot of language? asm, C, C++, C#, D, Go, Java, Javascript, Lua, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Scala with CGI-like writing. One note that you must really learn how HTTP works (parsing header, setting cookie, parsing POST parameters, etc) if you want to use this.

I don't really know if this suffer the same problem similar to others that use CGI instead of FastCGI: connection pooling to database (but we can use pgpool).

LWAN

LWAN is also web application server that uses C, can be used with LuaJIT (fast implementation of Lua). For the framework you can use Sailor (Example).

PyParallel 

PyParallel is a programming language implementation, forked from Python3, removes GIL (Global Interpreter Lock).

Julia

Julia is one awesome programming language that uses LLVM, it focuses

Actually there's a lot more implementation that faster than Go for certain (or all) cases, such as: C, C++, Ada, Rust, Java, and Fortran, be sure to check on BenchmarkGame site.

But, don't choose a language or web framework or web application platform just based on performance, there's a lot of things to consider, for example:

• either it's waste of time to work with (since you must do many things manually aka there's no framework or so little libraries/function yet)
• how easy it's to train a new programmer to work with you or continue the project
• what's the continuity of the technology (if the project abandoned by the author/maintainer)
• build/compile duration
• etc..

If you are looking for next hype? try Elixir and Phoenix.

Techempower Framework Benchmark Round 13

After long wait, the latest Techempower Framework Benchmark 13 is out! And just like previous one, Go's fasthttp really really fast. As usual the most important thing is data updates benchmark:

Top ranker in this part (more than 1024 req/s) are Go, C++, Java, Javascript (NodeJS), Perl, C#, Elixir, Dart, Scala, Python, Clojure, and Groovy (Actually PHP are there below the last one on the picture with 1018 req/s). And for the database part would be: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL.

Flowchart to choose your programming language

Just now, I found a cool site to generate flowchart from source code (just like dot program):

(click for larger picture)

Anyway this just a joke, just like before (if programming language were religion/woman), may odds be in your favor..

Btw here's the code if you want to modify.. please use http://pastie.org if you want to do a long comment containing source code..

Aww snaps, I forgot to add Elixir, Julia, and Crystal  -_- oh well.. maybe sometime in the future.

Kostya's Programming Language Implementation Benchmark
