The first golang result in the plaintext benchmark ranks 8th (atreugo-prefork), which is incidentally immediately followed by firenio-http-lite, a Java library. My point still stands, this is a third party library that is not commonly used,

> real world benchmark Highly debatable. Even then, you see that golang ranks in the 102nd place for the plaintext benchmark, almost 6x slower than Netty, which is very established in the JVM world. Same with the JSON benchmark, golang

Java and C# provide the benefits you mentioned, while being more expressive languages and having better runtimes compared to golang.

Practically everything you mentioned is already done better by Java or C#. Not to mention them having advantages that golang isn't even close to solving.

Java is getting fibers (check out project Loom). They're supposed to provide the same level of debugability as regular multi-threaded code.

Java is getting green threads/fibers by means of project Loom. Arguably much more straightforward to use compared to async/await.

This doesn't negate the fact that I stated. You can throw more hardware at the problem to reach higher throughput if your problem domain allows for it (such as the use case you link to). It goes without saying that this is an inefficie

"Servers" refers to a broad range of software. If you're writing a simple app that parses JSON and handles REST, it can be an ok fit. Now if you're writing server software that needs to be high-throughput, then that&#x27

I think with a program of that size and complexity, it will be memory hungry no matter what language it's written in. Visual Studio is a C++ application if I'm not mistaken, and it can be sluggish and slow for larger projects.

The JVM is shipping with two low latency collectors (currently in experimental stage): ZGC and Shenandoah.
