On: TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks: Round 20

I was surpised to see javascript framework called, just-js show up at rank 9. In case, people are wondering, it looks like a new V8 runtime environment. https://github.com/just-js/just

To me there is 3 main points:

  - Even if it's JS, just-js make almost no use of dynamic memory allocations.
  - The authors rewrote himself a postgresql driver that support batching request.
  - it wraps high performance c++ libraries

Even if the techempower implementation is far more verbose and complex than mainstream JS framework, the amount of work behind just-js and its preformances are just impressive!

I find myself a bit annoyed that they are calling that a "realistic" approach rather than stripped. That doesn't look like any "realistic" javascript I've ever seen in the wild: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/0096...
