A multi-language microbenchmark that spawns one million actors/coroutines/futures in a recursive fan-out tree and sums their results, comparing concurrency runtimes across languages. It includes implementations in Erlang, Go, Scala/Akka, Haskell, .NET, Rust, Crystal, LuaJIT, and more, with published timing results.

Use cases

• compare concurrency performance across programming languages
• benchmark actor model runtimes like Erlang and Akka
• measure goroutine spawn overhead in Go
• evaluate async/await and futures performance in .NET
• test how a runtime handles one million lightweight threads
• learn how the skynet concurrency benchmark works

When to choose

• you want a simple, well-known workload to compare concurrency runtimes
• you are evaluating languages for massive lightweight-thread workloads
• you want a reproducible microbenchmark for actor or coroutine systems

When to avoid

• you need a realistic application-level benchmark rather than a microbenchmark
• your workload is I/O-bound or involves real network traffic
• you need actively maintained benchmark suites with CI and updated results
