Duh, yes, of course

What a weirdly trite response given that you're essentially repeating what I said. And without specifics the linked piece, and its claims about benchmarks, is utterly meaningless.

"Rewrote inefficient code. Now it's faster. Story at 11!"

The AgeOfAscent story is not a PR piece

Humorously it was likely a "copy a L1 cached static response" type benchmark.

Okay, so it wasn't PR, it was self-aggrandizement (which is effectively PR). Got it. Though in this article it was linked as a performance improvement of "switching" to .NET Core, when really it was a story of terribly inefficient .NET Core code becoming better, though again in a nutshell it is meaningless. Cool.

yea that is caveat for comparing numbers in a simple http payload benchmark -- doesn't really reflect real workloads. I don't think it's meaningless that .NET got better. Perhaps more competition is better, otherwise we'd all be using Java/netty. However, I also see the repetitive work in having different stacks.
