>I am. It's pretty amazing. All performance benefits of C, none of the language drawbacks. (No offense to C.)

Actually the "all performance benefits of C" is not quite true. Go ranks slightly slower than Java, and 2-3X the speed of C/C++.

I'm curious what benchmarks you're deriving that from. I've not found that to be the case at all.

I found go is lot faster than Java with any code that is more than 3 lines long. I have not tesed it but I am sure it is lot faster for fewer lines of code.

Haven't had time to benchmark against c.
