Performance in Go? Far less than what you would get from Rust.
- charlesdaniels 6y agoI would expect Rust to be faster. I never claimed Go would be faster than Rust, but that it would be faster than Python. I think for rust, the barrier of entry is high in that it is a difficult language to learn. Admittedly, I don't know rust, but people I know who do have said as much. I think Go strikes a good balance of being easy to learn and use, having a rich standard library, and also being performant.
- donatj 6y agoI agree. As someone who writes Go professionally, you can learn the entire language in a weekend. I have sat down to learn Rust several times investing many hours and still wouldn’t say I’m in any way competent at it.
