… unless you’re using Java in the same way, such as an Azure Function or AWS Lambda. Or simply as a command-line tool.

IMHO, VM startup time should be included and the first few passes (before JIT kicks in) should also be included.

Java has supposedly “nearly C-like performance” until you read the fine print.
