Lol what ?
Go is generally 'the' tool me and quite a few of my friends reach for when they want todo some heavy-lifting without getting bogged down in the weeds of things. Sure you millage may vary.
And in your view Go might be slow (compared to) ? But Go is definitely NOT slow for any sort of general computing. Faster than NodeJS, (ok i'm cherry picking now) mostly on par or with C# or Java depending on your benchmark-magic of choice. Super easy to do multicore and concurrency with it and definitely faster to compile than Rust.
Does it have warts or not the best language ? Absolutely ! But it's definitely not know to be "quite slow" and having a "weak compiler" ?? To be honest in this is the first time I've heard that exact claim "quite slow" :/
- native_samples 5y agoOf course it's faster than JavaScript. I meant slow compared to comparable languages like C++ or Java (statically typed with high effort compilers).
- rawoke083600 5y agoIt's not slow compared to Java or C++ !?? LOL show me benchmarks where is slower and I will show you benchmarks where it's faster !
