I don't know how you concluded that nothing can beat C because Go is most of the times slower.
You can see it has pretty similar performance for a problem [0] pretty similar to yours.

- throwaway2016a 9y agoI may have been using hyperbole. Looking at that benchmark that tiny difference in performance would have have been very magnified in my use case. Though I will concede that it is possible that while slower it might still max out disk I/O and once the bottleneck isn't RAM or CPU it doesn't much matter what language you use. And based on that, Rust does beat C.
