This is misleading work because they chose such an unrepresentative toy model.
They essentially say that in python most of the time is spent doing python work, while in go, most of the time is spent in the math calculations. That’s only true because so little calculation happens in this toy model. Scale it up to a realistic model, and python vs go should become a rounding error.
I also take issue with the conflation of sustainability and speed.
