Comparing Erlang, Go, Java, and C

Tim over at timyang.net has an interesting ‘hello world’ web server test between Erlang, Go, Java, and C. The C code is an nginx plugin, Java uses the MINA framework; Erlang and Go are small standalone apps. Java ‘won’, with Erlang in second place. Interesting article and the first I’ve seen comparing Go and Erlang performance.

  1. I have looked on it briefly but Erlang server code doesn’t look as state of art. So I can’t believe those results.

    I saw a speed comparison of Erlang, Python, and some other languages and Python won.
