Which part of raw web performance? These don't seem like web performance benchmarks. IOW I'm not sure how calculating digits of PI impacts serving HTML.

Seems like we need benchmarks for actual web workloads. :)

PHP vs Ruby in web benchmark across multiple frameworks (and even no use of a framework) linked below.

There’s nearly an entire order of magnitude difference in performance between the best of PHP vs best of Ruby (~400k vs ~50k rps)

Benchmark is simply incomplete and manipulative. The "best" doesn't even use an ORM, and it's mostly php anyway. Barely any ruby variants.

Is that an apples to apples comparison taking ngx-php vs roda on puma, esp being on ruby 2.7? Would love to see embedded ruby in nginx instead.
