Dart's http server is slowly

Why?

In JS, the base part of the HTTP server is implemented in native code, it's just Zig, Rust, C++ with JS bindings. In Dart case, it's all written in Dart and native socket bindings. Dart is reading all the bytes, parsing them, and putting them into the streams.

Is there any possibility of improvement?In this way, dart can also be used as a backend.

Dart is used as a backend. A 2ms vs 5ms diff is not that much. If you want to improve the standard HttpServer, take a look at http_io to experiment.

I tested it with the standard HttpServer and the throughput was indeed too low.

@ykmnkmi is there any examples of using Dart as backend ? What's the use cases? I have small logging server on Dart and it performs on single isolate under 1-2k rps, good enough for such task, but I was wondering if there is any complicated use cases for Dart as backend lang
