A few folks have commented that there were logic errors in the Go version. Specifically that len("föö") = 5 should instead have returned len("föö") = 3

A few folks have commented that there were logic errors in the Go version. Specifically that len("föö") = 5 should instead have returned len("föö") = 3 I submitted a pull request, https://github.com/christianscott/levenshtein-distance-benchmarks/pull/3 https://github.com/christianscott/levenshtein-distance-bench..., that fixes these issues in the Go implementation. Interestingly enough, when I re-ran the benchmark, the Go version is roughly 19% faster than it was previously: old: 1.747889s new: 1.409262s (-19.3%)
