I don't think web servers clarifies much, though. The most important web servers (Apache, nginx, ISS, etc.) are all written in C or C++, and they try to squeeze out every bit of performance they can. I guess we're talking about applications communicating over HTTP, but that's not my first thought when I hear someone talking about web servers without any more context.

(I'm aware of Caddy, but my understanding is that it's aiming for ease of use over performance.)

We'll focus on tuning performance after 1.0. ;)
