It’s not a very compelling defense of a benchmark to argue that it measures something different for some languages than others—in this case for Go the benchmark

It’s not a very compelling defense of a benchmark to argue that it measures something different for some languages than others—in this case for Go the benchmark measures poorly/carelessly written code while for other languages it measures meticulously optimized code.
I maintain a contrived benchmark is not a useful benchmark.
