Hacktoberfest-Friendly Issues

[cjnething]

For all of our Hacktoberfest contributors looking for a great way to get started with the Framework Benchmarks project, this issue is going to be a thread to discuss beginner-friendly tasks in the project.

If you're a beginner contributor: Please feel free to ask any questions you may have on this thread. These can be about the project as a whole, how to find issues, how to create well-organized merge requests, etc.

If you're a veteran contributor: Please comment any issues you think would be a good project for beginners!

Thanks everyone, and Happy Hacktoberfest!

Some ideas:

• Pick the language/framework of your choice, find a dependency that can be upgraded, and upgrade its version
• Find a part of the project that is unclear or undocumented, and add some clarity to our documentation

@cjnething I see that you use laravel 4.2 to compare but shouldn't it be better to use the latest version ?
If so should I make a new folder named laraver55 or update the existing ?

@concept-core Updating the existing test would be preferable. Feel free to open a pull request with changes and ask questions there if you need any help. Thanks!

Why are languages such as C++ Rust C haskell Go sometimes much slower in the benchmarks than PHP JS Ruby Python? This is so counter intuitive that i don't get these benchmarks at all ...

What about requests/sec, latency, concurrent connections?

I can write you a poorly performing application in any language.
