I'm building a REST API and I want to know if anyone has compiled a list of performance benchmarks in all or most of the following languages:

  • Node
  • Ruby
  • Python
  • Go

I'm most familiar with the node frameworks (hapi, express, restify), but I'm curious about the others for contention's sake.
