Natrafiłem ostatnio na mały research dotyczący w.w. języków w kwestii skalowalności i szerokorozumianego performance (latency i throughput)

TL;DR (Conclusion):
We have investigated programming language characteristics that
support the engineering of multicore web servers. Crucially these
languages must be able to support massive concurrency on multicore
machines with low communication and synchronisation overheads.
We have analysed 12 languages considering computation,
coordination, compilation, and popularity, and selected three representative
high-level languages for detailed analysis: Erlang, Go,
and Scala/Akka (Section 2). We have designed three server benchmarks
that analyse key performance characteristics of the languages,
i.e. inter-process communication latency, process creation time, the
maximum number of supported processes, and throughput (Section
3).
A summary of the recommendations based on this small set of
benchmarks is as follows. For a server where minimising message
latency is crucial, Go and Erlang are the best choice (Figure 3).
Interestingly Akka significantly reduces communication latency in
Scala (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)). Scala/Akka are capable of maintaining
the largest number of dormant processes (∼11M processes in
Figure 4(a)), while Erlang performs the best when processes are
short lived and the goal is to ensure minimal spawn time, e.g. Erlang
takes 58s to spawn 9M processes (Section 4.2). In server applications
where up to 100,000 processes are frequently spawned, Erlang and
Go minimise process creation time and scale smoothly (Figure 4(b)).
Experiments with communicating pairs of processes show that Go
provides the highest throughput independent of the number of cores
and the number of process pairs (Figure 5).
Comparing the performance of complete case study servers implemented
in each language would significantly reinforce these
results, and one possibility is an Instant Messaging (IM) benchmark
[4]. It would also be interesting to study the performance
overheads of providing fault tolerance and of recovering from faults,
another key server capability. Finally we could compare the performance
of server languages on distributed memory architectures, e.g.
a cluster of multicores.
