Was this published as-is to some sort of prominent CS journal? I honestly can't tell from the link. If that's the case, I'm very disappointed and would have a few choice words about the state of "academia".

Yes, that would be concerning indeed...

The author couldn't tell why he didn't manage to make run the C or python program but figured it is probably the blame of the language for some obscure reasons.

He also mentioned that he should have implemented multithreading in C++ to be comparable with Node, but meh that's probably also not of his concern, let compare them as is ^^`

Also he doesn't mention the actual language of the library used, but that would have voided the interest of the article, so I quite may understand that omission :P

But at the end, nothing can be learned from this and it is hard to believe it is what "research" can produce
