Agreed. Take a look at https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r19&hw=...
C# currently 1st place in this webserver benchmark. Ahead of C/C++/Go/Java/D.
No offense to JavaScript, I like it and it has its uses. But surely your OP is joking when saying JavaScript is faster than C#. Even after all the performance improvements that V8 received.
This is a bold claim. Please provide evidence that the most current .NET implementation (.NET Core 3.1) is slower than any JavaScript implementation.
This doesn't pass the smell test since you're comparing an ahead-of-time statically typed approach to a dynamic scripting language, both of which have had highly tuned JIT implementations, both of which are using garbage collection. You can implement things poorly in C#, sure, but you're making a much stronger claim of consistently poor performance.
Saying 'dude trust me' is not a source.
