Benchmarking different programming languages for a simple bioinformatics task

Those super fast Rust solutions are somewhat interesting for their use of SIMD, but honestly with the complexity of the code involved, they might as well have written it in Assembly.

Also, side note, was the Crystal CSP solution only run with a single worker thread? Unless there is some bottleneck caused by the IO I dont understand how the CSP solution runs slower than the otherwise identical non-CSP version.
