It's not an "unqualified" claim, Go really is fast enough compared to the likes of Python and Ruby. I'm not saying that rewriting a Go program in a faster language (C/C++/Rust) can't sometimes be effective, but that's due to special circumstances - it's not something that generalizes to any and all programs.

"Fast enough" is inherently unqualified since what "enough" is is going to be case specific.
