Yes this is why I said the benchmark is poorly written. It encourages frameworks to do such thing. Even if you look at the code of hyper for the benchmark, it does some ugly things not recommended in production. I'm not blaming actix/hyper's authors, I'm blaming the benchmark author encouraging (not voluntarily) such practice. However the benchmark is enough to see that C++ is not faster by several margins, hence my curiosity about benchmarks proving otherwise.
