No, what's hard is making sure every benchmark site has optimal Nim code that is fair for Nim. There are plenty of other sites doing similar comparisons and doing them well, so removing the poor comparisons could be effective. In Discord we were joking around that we could quickly set up many benchmark sites which purport to show Nim being much better than other languages, where we just have all other languages having really poorly implemented algorithms. There comes a point where these sites are just propaganda and there isn't enough people wanting to improve their language's algorithms.
