but is this an apple-to-apple comparison to the node.js results referenced in the post?

  It seems to me it's not because the Node.js test used a remote machine to drive the connections whereas this one is driving the connections from the same machine. Running the server and test harness on the same machine bypasses a whole lot of networking stack. Also, it seems the limitation in Node.js is the maximum heap size of around 1.4GB [1]. This test used a heap size of 3GB which is just not possible in Node (until the limitation is removed, anyway).

    author here. Yes, Clojure can use more than 1.4G of heap, and can use threads. http-kit is multithreaded (one just for IO, others for computing response). A strength of Clojure?

      Frankly as somebody pointed out http-kit is written mostly in Java, so I would say that you're showing strength of JVM.

        Yes, JVM is strong. Clojure inherit it.
