Sure, but language shootouts are more commonly about the code run than the language itself. I really like Go and can believe that Erlang performs well. For the java example.. wtf is "webbit"? I've programmed Java for 10 years and never heard of that. Why doesn't he just find a way to run on Jetty or Tomcat like everyone else? I'd believe for an example like this that native languages can outperform java, because it's basically a ton of no-op web requests. But Java underperforming Node and frickin Python? Python's a great language but famously slow. No way is this study legit.
