People really seem to underestimate just how much a CPU can handle when it’s not bogged down by the abstraction of high level languages. You can easily easily serve over 1000 static pages per second per core with nginx on commodity hardware over TLS, and over 10000 pages/second/core if you’re using a server-grade CPU like a Xeon or Epyc.
- wyager 5y agoI don’t think “high level” is even the problem. Haskell is extremely high-level and yet it’s very fast, on account of having an extremely OP compiler. In this case it seems to just be the frameworks on top of non-compiled languages that are slow.
