Benchmarking programming languages and web frameworks
Rocket (Rust)
Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast, secure web applications without sacrificing flexibility or type safety. It extensively uses Rust's advanced features such as code generation to ensure that applications are both type-safe and thread-safe. Rocket emphasizes developer ergonomics alongside performance.
This benchmark tests how fast a framework can perform concurrent HTTP requests, I/O operations, and JSON de/serialization.
Rust is a modern, systems-level programming language focused on safety, speed, and concurrency sponsored by Mozilla Research. It provides memory safety without garbage collection through its unique ownership system with compile-time checks. Rust is designed for creating high-performance applications with strict control over system resources.
