What is crystal? And where are Java & C++? Also, who the hell writes web frameworks in Objective-C? Also... does anyone notice that this test shows that the web framework hosted under the same github account is the fastest. edit: re: "What is crystal?" https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal ... I will say, I'm intrigued. I do love ruby, but unfortunately also hate dynamic typing. Crystal seems interesting.

not to mention CGI

How important is speed really? It's not like it's the only parameter you can measure a framework by, just happens to be the only quantifiable one.

It's not even really that quantifiable, since a framework can be faster at some tests and slower at others.

This is measuring startup time, not actual request time. This seems nearly worthless unless you are looking to host something on AWS Lambda? Does the author honestly believe GET requests to rails sites take 2 and a half minutes on average?

The client is sending 5000 requests * 16 threads from what I can see. Still seems like a useless microbenchmark.

I think PHP is still the most popular web app language, a shame it’s missing out having a couple of it’s frameworks included in the test.

Can already guess they'll be at the bottom. Laravel, Symfony are pretty dang slow as frameworks.

Also without testing them to get the stats to prove/disprove my statement I'm going to say the exact opposite.

I understand wanting to show off your latest project, but comparing a large framework like Rails to your couple hundred lines of crystal is not an honest comparison, not even taking into account the concerns of startup time as others mentioned.

They're already among the slowest in PHP:
