Go 1.1 is looking very strong! Pat (pfalls) just showed me some very preliminary numbers and we are extremely happy with them.
Thanks for the input and constructive criticism, vanderZwan. It has been very helpful to get feedback from yourself and everyone else. I too am particularly happy with the sportsmanlike competition vibe. You have no idea how fulfilling that is to us.
Also, I like the "sportsmanlike benchmarking game between different communities" vibe I'm getting from all this.
Would be nice if the community helps turn this into the de facto example of how to benchmark correctly.
Now I'll just have to wait and see how Go 1.1 compares ;).
