No, I would say that most languages sit above Go - i.e., most languages are higher-level and have lower performance (in the general case) than Go.

- tyingq 6y agoThat seems to capture the essence of Nim. The main goal appears to be to "seem high level" but, compile to C in way that makes it low level when you want it to be. Like the optional garbage collection, pretty simple ffi, etc. They seem to be pitching a middle ground.
- cb321 6y agoNim almost always produces faster running executables than Go in my experience, but is also higher level/more featureful. It also compiles very quickly if you use the TinyCC/tcc backend C compiler.
- Cyph0n 6y agoI never said anything about Nim. My reply was saying this: [ Most languages ] - [ Go ] - [ Some languages ] - [ Rust ] - [ Way fewer languages ] In the above, languages are lower-level and higher performance (in general) as you move to the right.
