Why it's worth learning Go

There are many reasons to learn Go but even the author didn't emphasise on performance because it is not. There are many dynamic compilers which produce faster binaries than go. I think the best reasoning in the blog was A-Grade standard lib. That is something not all available new languages enjoy. But Go from the early days had good standard lib support. Go comes with batteries but then so does Chicken scheme.

From generics to sets and several others, I think there are enough reasons to consider that go does not "come with batteries", especially when you compare it with almost any other modern (>90s) language.

Can you please specify which are the dynamic compilers which produce faster binaries than Go? I’m just curious.
