> It’s cool to see this kind of analysis, even if it’s analyzing a totally bogus benchmark. Yeah but that bogus benchmark has become viral on social networks, and people are even writing their own shitty "experiments" based on that one. This post is absolutely wonderful in that it doesn't shit on the original benchmark too much, while explaining patiently how to do it right. Hopefully, the person who started with the bogus benchmark, as well as people following in his footsteps, will learn something important (I myself have posted benchmarks before - though I believe much higher quality - but failed to properly analyse the results as shown here). Notice that the bogus benchmark ended up catching the attention of a Dart maintainer and looks like they found their compiler was missing some easy optimisations... so it may end up having been helpful for every Dart user in the world!
