Sad to see this. I had so much fun implementing a http server (called httpbeast) from scratch to get as far up these benchmarks as possible.

I do agree with others here that it was possible to game them, but it still gave a good indication of the performance bracket a language was in (and you could check if interpreted languages were cheating via FFI pretty easily).

Feels like the end of an era.
