Ugh... not a great article, I don't tend to read micro benchmark articles with baited breath for some nuggets of insight so no surprise really.

WRT Go:

Linux implementation of SO_REUSEPORT initially had a few big gotchas, such as incoming conns could get dropped if one of the multiple listening process terminates. I don't know what the state of affairs is now however it was an eminently sensible position not to support it on Linux way back when.

So fasthttp doesn't really have a good reputation for correctness[1], sacrificing much of the HTTP specs for speed. I can't imagine I'd ever want to use it.
