Sure, it’s much faster than Python, agreed. But is it fast enough to implement highly optimized numerical algorithms in a way that can compete with Fortran or C

Sure, it’s much faster than Python, agreed. But is it fast enough to implement highly optimized numerical algorithms in a way that can compete with Fortran or C? That I’m not so sure of, and if not you’re stuck with the crappy FFI.

Unless you need the last 10% of performance, yes it is. You can also use assembly directly from Go if you need bleeding edge speed.

  It's too verbose to do data science stuff.
