This is not a rigourous benchmark; I did not use the TechEmpower framework for building my test, nor did I build a version of dash for TechEmpower:

Comparing a 100 line C program to hundreds or thousands of lines of go or C or Java is a bit pointless. If the 100 lines of C doesn't do what you want, you'll throw it away and write a different 100 lines. That's the point of small programs.

The only reason I chose fasthttp instead of ulib because I could not get ulib to build on my machine.

I built the fasthttp test program by by checking out https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks.git, and disabling the mysql connection, then running frameworks/Go/fasthttp's ./server-mysql

Here's fasthttp running on my machine (best of three):

and here's dash running with the kdb networking disabled (best of three):
