Re: obscurity: This has been true for a long time. I remember seeing these a long time ago and it wasn't until about 80% down the list that a "real" framework showed up. "Lies, Damn Lies, and Benchmarks" is somewhat true in this like any benchmark, but as others have pointed out, important techniques gain exposure using this benchmark over the years that trickle into mainstream use. It would be nice if a summary of what techniques were used by new "frameworks" to gain leadership. All too often discussions of this benchmark turn into pissing matches by language zealots. Actix's turn at the top was very interesting for the, uh, discussion, it prompted in the rust community about unsafe, although it was stressful for the original author. In javaland, Vert.X has been high on the list for quite a while, but as I understand it, it uses "arena" allocation of buffers to avoid GC and other tricks to get the JVM up to par with non-GC languages, but isn't really typical of JVM development. I would also like to know if HTTP protocol "hacks" are used, or networking tricks like userland network stacks. But alas, it's just a huge wall of github projects and not a lot of use to a run of the mill developer like me.
