>The benchmarks speak volumes of dishonesty.

Not really. They are designed to showcase a common use case across multiple technologies.

The beauty of this benchmark is that there is a hardware limit included so that it forces you to create novel solutions to perform well.

>Note also that Julia would be number 1 in almost all of those benchmarks if you were to rank by speed of second run (as expected...). It's funny because once you notice it those benchmarks are basically an ad for Julia.

Not sure where you're getting that but even on second run Julia doesn't really compete with DT/Polars

the benchmarks are a bit out of date (missing DataFrames 1.2/1.3, Julia 1.7, CSV 0.9). I'm planning on running an updated version this weekend.

If you wouldn't mind, please update DuckDB as well!

Can you make a PR to https://github.com/oscardssmith/db-benchmark? I don't know DuckDB, so I don't know what the change would be.

It's obvious that you're promoting duck eggs at the expense of, say, chicken eggs or quail eggs or even ostrich eggs. Maybe you could tone that down a bit.

Julia doesn't really compete with anything, despite having some cool tech behind it.

It's like -- Julia is the Rory Gilmore of programming languages.
