The stack contest!

[christianrpetrin]

We have included only a few open source stacks in our benchmark tests. The stacks in the tests were chosen due to their different designs (linked list, dynamic array, circular buffer, etc) and their high quality implementations. We also tested many others that had much inferior performance when compared to the ones in the tests. Make no mistake: the stacks in the tests are all world-class implementations.

Having said that, a simple search for "stack" in godoc.org reveals there's many stacks out there! It's easy to miss an interesting one.

We need help probing and finding strong stack candidates to include in the tests. By strong we mean the ones that can perform better than the ones already in the tests in the Microservice test.

To probe a stack, just clone this stack repo (if you haven't already) locally and create the tests for the stack you wish to test in the Microservice test source file. After that, run the tests and check the results.

Please post the results for the stacks you tested as comments in this issue.

The dream goal of this contest is to find a stack that is faster than stack!

The winner, meaning, the person who found a stack that is faster in at least 5 test ranges (out of the 8), will win a glorious amount of virtual thumbs up (👍) and a sincere thanks from us!
