It’s not allowed to preallocate memory in certain benchmarks, so it has to do allocations in a tight loop. Go’s allocations are more expensive by design because idiomatic Go doesn’t create as much garbage as other GC languages.

If you’re here for a language slap fight, you’ll have to find someone else to talk to.

EDIT: good grief, the overwhelming majority of your recent comments are “debates” about the benchmark game. Do you have an alert for references to this phrase or something?
