#2For Rust, this benchmark tests Nickel, Iron, and Rocket; all of which are synchronous. Async really helps here!

#3Is this essentially this again?

They appear to have slowed down in the frequency of test rounds though.

#4What 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.

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.

Why? I looked at the code, it doesn't really do anything with the request, shouldn't be blocking any threads or anything.

#6Is the term "framework" really the best descriptor for this type of chunks of code?

That does seem suspicious. On the other hand, that's precisely the party that would have the most incentive to publicize the results of the tests...

#8How 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 in the program itself, it's in the frameworks. That is, the way the frameworks handle the HTTP requests uses blocking IO.
There are other frameworks that are non-blocking; they just didn't include them. To be fair, Iron and Nickel are the old guard of frameworks, and Rocket is one of the new, hyped ones, but they don't use any async stuff. This isn't so much blaming the benchmark as it is adding context!

Crystal is a relatively newer language aimed to combine Ruby's syntax with the speed of C per it's project page [1].
