Are we seriously benchmarking programming languages based on the number of syscalls Hello World takes now

So I actually strace'd hello world in Rust. Most of the syscalls are just from http://ld.so , and so could be eliminated with static linking if you cared. The remainder are for stack guards, which are an important security feature.

Publishing benchmarks like this just encourages language runtimes to not do important things like set up stack guards, harming safety/security. It's irresponsible.

Why compete in a foolish competition? That benchmark may have been created to poke fun at VMs.

A vote for microbenchmarks measuring assembly code instead of timing information.
