It's still hard to take any benchmark seriously when given the quote:

> Mosquitto was compiled with gcc 4.8.2, the Go implementation was executed with go run, the D implementation was compiled with dmd 2.0.64.2 and the Erlang version I’m not sure.

The "I'm not sure" speaks for itself, but go run also includes both compilation time and execution time and they're comparing it against just the execution times of the other languages. That's not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

I didn't write the Erlang version, don't know Erlang nor have any idea how it's built. The curious can always check the code out.

I don't know why you think that start-up time has an effect on the benchmarks. It doesn't matter how long the brokers take to start, once they did the measurements were done. `go run` doesn't change a thing.
