I would like to know how the benchmarks are generated, but my point is that it wasn't slower-enough to ignore it, and that's amazing considering how much micro-optimization has gone into nginx and how much easier the Go version is to write. The Go version may in fact be faster, but I don't think that's necessarily fair either: if the Go version adds features to be more comparable to nginx it would definitely slow down.

That is often how alternative parallel implementations are started. A small example is written. Benchmarks are published. The new project is hailed as better than predecessor. Many jump ship. Request for features comes in. New features starts to slow down the product. Someone new comes, writes a simple benchmark and so on.
