Efficient code means code with a large amount of embedded assumptions. Code that's more generic is almost always less efficient.
Go is about as far as you can "go" to the efficiency end without becoming Rust. It's a low-overhead language (like C) but with a GC that ensures memory safety. If you want to manage memory yourself and still prove safety it gets very complicated, as we see in Rust.
