Good to see them getting Nim-related 
[issues](https://github.com/tbrand/which_is_the_fastest/issues) / [pull 
requests](https://github.com/tbrand/which_is_the_fastest/pulls) (from anyone 
not boycotting GitHub, ahem...). Also remember

> This is an important lesson why benchmarks shouldn't be trusted.

Nothing should be "trusted", and no benchmark is perfect, but it's still a 
noble and useful sport. Optimizing for specific test cases shows a dev team's 
dedication to performance. It helped overcome the "Java is slow" stigma (which 
was true, at least on the desktop), and Go's fasthttp / Python's japronto are 
significant arguments for the viability of those respective languages.
