How much of this is benchmarking JSON parsing vs other processing? It'd be nice to see timing broken down based on each step in the requirements section.

Not that JSON parsing isn't valid to measure, but it's not the most interesting thing to me given the large number of JSON parsers that exist in each language.

The JSON parsing is actually done before the timer starts. If you look at the raw results Julia actually comes out very poorly when the JSON part is taken into account.

Thank you. That wasn't clear to me from the README but I can see that now looking through the code.

That total timing also includes compilation, not just the JSON parsing.
