Turns out I hadn't heard of go's fiber framework, which performs impressively on Techempower's composite benchmarks (just behind the top ten dominated by C++, Rust, and .NET Core, and barely ahead of Java). Other than Fiber, the techempower composite framework benchmark[0] ranks gin (go), nodejs, clevergo, and fastify (node) one after the other, all scoring right around 1600. To be fair, Express is half that good at ~800, but upgrading from express to fastify should be fairly straightforward for those seeking better performance; the much newer fastify has a similar (often compatible) API. For comparison, Python's fastapi is only 1200, and Django/Rails a mere 250, so lumping Node in with Python and Ruby doesn't make much sense; it'll often perform an order of magnitude better. For computation-heavy workloads, multiprocessing with Node remains a challenge; Go's a more clear winner there.
