Not a single person who actually produces and maintains production apps. 
I completely lost any respect I had for them the moment I found out some of the contenders did not even use an HTTP library, they just directly compared a single string comprised of HTTP version, verb, parameters, headers, the whole thing – with zero parsing, just so they can get on a better position. 
People have contacted the TechEmpower maintainers about such cheaters and they are only shrugging.
There’s zero value in that “benchmark” game. I too can wrangle machine code when the need calls for it.
@musialny.dev Your metrics should be – how easy and quick it is to develop with the technology AND is it easy to maintain when deployed to production. That’s it. Elixir covers both very well and some other languages and frameworks only cover one of these. Many of them do not cover even one of the points. 
One example: Ruby on Rails is relatively easy to develop with but the tech easily falls over with more server load so people just buy more servers – which eliminates the 2nd point of “is it easy to maintain in production?”.
Another example: Rust is very easy to maintain in production because you’ll only ever need one server unless you’re on a planetary scale. But making a web or API service with Rust is not easy. So this one has the both points swapped compared to Ruby on Rails.
