Techempower Framework Benchmark Round 18

Framework Benchmark 18 is out (half year after previous result), the shocking result that Vert.x version of Javascript just killing almost everyone except Rust. Top performing programming languages for updating-database benchmark are: Rust, Java, Javascript, C++, C#, Go, Kotlin, Dart, Python.

For multiple-queries benchmark, the top performers are: Rust, Java, Javascript, C, Kotlin, C++, Clojure, Go, PHP, Perl, C#.

Rust is quite interesting, the only drawback that I found other than the syntax is the slow compile, it took nearly 6 seconds for even a minor changes (with Actix framework) in ramdisk to recompile, even with slow compile flags turned off.
