I don't care for PHP as much as the next guy, but it's usually in the top 25 of the web framework benchmark (most of the other top langs are Java, Go and C++): https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/
Just curious, what's up with this Ur language at both position 1 and 4? Never heard of it, and probably not experienced enough to make sense of it, but how is it that a language that doesn't even have a full official tutorial to its name beat out java, C++ and Go in those rankings by a factor of >2?
Ur (Ur/Web?) seems to be built very specifically for the exact things that this benchmark checks (dynamic web pages with SQL queries). So it's not surprising that those code paths are highly optimized in the language.
I'm genuinely curious.
