One of my favourite Go posts from awhile ago was a Go v Java/C where both beat Go handily in speed. The author then went on to declare the winner Go b/c Go used less mem than Java and had mem management while C didn't. This led me to Randy's Law of Benchmarking: Unless an author publishes what result they want beforehand, any benchmark the author produces is invalid. Corollary: Even the ideation of a benchmark has bias embedded in it.
