Another benchmark of the "I don't know what I'm actually measuring" flavor.

I don't even know where to start: from the lack of env settings, system settings, compiler settings to the fact that no concurrent work was actually done, this is one giant flawed benchmark.

The only lesson here should be: Don't take any of this seriously.



Just read the text. It lists versions and states it was using defaults in the release mode. Most of those compilers don't have any fancy options actually. E.g go is just `go build`, Python is just `python3 ...`. Rust options are in the project definition. Anyway, I'll add those command line invocations if it causes so much controversy.

compiler settings?? I bet he used defaults everywhere
