ICYMI - How does CFML really perform compared to other languages?

I’ve talked about the TechEmpower performance benchmarks before, but I wanted to highlight them again. They are the closest thing the internet has to a giant cage match between nearly every language and framework out there. The benchmarks have a suite of tests, such as run 20 queries on a page and output some data, and every language and framework implements the same logic in their syntax and style. The tests literally take days to run in full and spin up each combination of language and framework in docker containers where they are hammered with oodles of traffic and then the juicy stats are recorded for sweet graphical comparisons.
