Can I rephrase the question?

How much concurrent tasks can you run on a mid sized server in 2024?

Definition of mid size: machine that will have 1TB Ram and maybe 64 Cores.

A small machine would be my workstation. 192GB Ram and 32 Cores.

What programming env do I have to use to eat up all those Ressources without petering out?

Isn't this the task Go was built for? I'm surprised it faired so poorly.

This comparison is absolute crap, there is no concurrent work being done.

The NodeJS example is not even doing anything besides storing an array of promises which will get resolved all in one tick later.
