yeah of course, doing simple programs and checking their time is a good benchmark... oh wait.. also real world performance in bigger programs is mostly different, especially when you deal with big heaps.

Btw. this site is extremly bad for benchmarks since it also measure's the startup time of the runtime in java/go/rust.

Rust doesn't have any significant runtime startup cost, but it certainly is an issue for Java (and presumably Go as well).

It is an issue for Java programs that complete in a few tenths of a second. So these do more work than a few tenths of a second.
