I don’t think every benchmark should be a benchmark of everything. Targeted micro benchmarks are valuable, if they are explicit about their applicability scope.

I don’t think every benchmark should be a benchmark of everything. Targeted micro benchmarks are valuable, if they are explicit about their applicability scope. The post is very direct about looking only at the memory usage, and literally says that using the results to reason about overall performance would be wrong. I see how the article could be read as “goroutines bad, threads good”, as it doesn’t go to extraordinary lengths to prevent that. But I prefer to cater to a careful reader, and not add loud disclaimers repeatedly.
