Multi-Language Queue Benchmark

Fair, reproducible measurements of in-process queue libraries across five languages.

This is a measurement lab, not a leaderboard of “the fastest queue in the world.” Compare queues inside one language and one communication category (thread, async, or opt-in process / shared memory / durable). Cross-language times are directional only.

Go here	Why
Benchmark design	Categories, tests, how to read a result
Comparison rules	What we never rank together
Queue categories	Thread, async, process, shared, durable
Architecture	How the suite is built
Modes	smoke / all-single / full / research
Metrics	What the columns mean (enqueue / dequeue / handoff)
Adding a queue	Drop in one library
Adding a language	New runner contract
Queues 101	Types, backpressure, lock vs lock-free
