"When people rewrite system from X where X in (Python, Ruby, Node, Clojure) to Go they usually see at least 10x improvement."

Sure but how much of the performance gains come from Go and how much come from just having a better understanding of the problem the second time around?

Go is strongly typed and compiled, it literally does 10x less work than dynamic languages for most things.

Pypy leads to a near 10x speed up over cPython as well.
