On: Why Rust in Production?

The benchmark link doesn't work for me. (Blame my adblocker??) The graphics in the article are interesting but don't include a way to identify which are Rust/Java/Go/Python. Maybe you're supposed to assume they come in the order given, but the x-axis is time... could definitely be clearer. (Also apparently not from the OP, just the cited article.)

Also, this kind of throughput in Java 11 in 2021 while Java 17 was already out is a bit meh.

Nowadays, with Java 21 and virtual threads, results might be quite different (and the default GC has changed as well).

I agree with the graphs being unreadable. The tables in the benchmark article are easier to read.

Also, not using ZGC when latency is the focus just strikes me as unserious.

"Benchmarked on JDK 11, with G1"

The first link is missing a "7" at the end, that's why it 404s. The second one works though: https://medium.com/star-gazers/benchmarking-low-level-i-o-c-...

"Rust, Go, Java, Python" in order, left to right, yes.

There's an oddity in that article...the C++ p99.9 is lower than its p99. Am I crazy or should that not be possible?

[steveklabnik → mcronce]

That is confusing to me as well, yes.
