I know you put effort this and do not want to give you a hard time, but a lot of people on HN will give you a hard time with benchmarks, especially as simple as this, gracious concluding paragraph or not.

Some people here are very dismissive of benchmarking in general, but if you are interested in evaluating programming languages for use in web applications, you would be interested in TechEmpower benchmarks, which are very thorough. [0] You can even send pull requests with updated languages, frameworks, or better implementations of different tests to give more competitive/accurate results. Enjoy.

UPDATE: Fixed link to the benchmarks.

Thanks! I just want to clarify that the URL for the web application framework benchmarks project is: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

OP: I recommend installing and using Wrk for web-server benchmarks. The Apache Bench tool (ab) is single-threaded and with today's higher-performance frameworks and platforms, Apache Bench itself can be a limiting factor in tests. See a reply I wrote elsewhere [1] for more information.

I regret there isn't any benchmarks for d, especially vibe.d.
