D on quora ...

[Daniel Kozak]

techempower bench is not good. It is wierd. On my pc vibe.d is much faster
with techempower benchmark. So I do not beleive their results

At the moment, for very demanding high-performance web applications, the
main choices are :
- Dart
- Go
- C/C++
- Java/Kotlin

This is somewhat confirmed by the following benchmark (despite its well
known flaws) :

https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r14&hw=ph&test=query

I think that D, with its fiber system and extreme execution speeds, should
already have everything needed to compete on the same grounds as Dart and
Go.

But only if :
- the fibers automatically uses all cores if allowed to do so;
- the GC problems is designed so that the server never hangs for more than
a few milliseconds IN THE WORST CASE (progressive GC)
- dedicated HIGH PERFORMANCE web server (cfr Go/Dart) and database access
(MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aerospike) libraries are available, preferably as a
standard library (like in Dart and Go).

And for the third point, I really mean high performance, something that
make D's implementation of the (silly) benchmarks immediately go to the top
of the chart.

If all that is already available, perfect :)

Then we just need to add the D version of the benchmarks, and the marketing
is done.

And moreover I'd be delighted to start using D instead of Go for my next
web server developments.
