You probably want the apples-to-apples comparison but this looks an artificially limiting comparison; people are shilling, ahem, sorry, advocating for their languages in most areas, especially web / API servers. If somebody is making grandiose claims about their pet language then it's very fair to slap them with C++ or Rust or anything else that's actually mega ultra fast.
So there's no "better" comparison here. It's a fair game to compare everything to everything if people use all languages for the same kinds of tasks. And they do.
