This has skewed results significantly to the point that many developers only take a cursory glance at such benchmarks and leave almost immediately.

That’s what I just did

We definitely need better benchmarks though…

(Languages where performance and scalability are some of their biggest selling points.) As has come up in conversation in a few threads over the years, there seems to be a general frustration with benchmarks like the Techempower ones because they don’t really reflect real life usage. That’s particularly bad for Elixir and Erlang because real life situations is …

A proper benchmarking system (like the one I have in mind) could be a huge win for Elixir/Erlang
