The title is misleading, and the article is hard to read.
The central complaint seems to be that the language shoot-out uses the 'go' compiler. This doesn't seem surprisingly, seeing as this is what the go website tells users to use.
There is however a gcc frontend for go, complete as of July and still not in many distributions (this isn't a go problem, man distros haven't updated yet to gcc 4.7.1).
So the real headline should be 'Computer Language Benchmarks uses google's go compiler, gccgo is faster'
- markokocic 14y agoThat is one of the things I miss in Shootout. Before, there were allowed multiple implementations for each language, and users could see how big difference between Lua and Luajit is, or how Python2 compares to Python 3. Now that there is only one implementation for each language allowed, some important information is missing from the site.

- malkia 14y agoWait... Is luajit is back in the benchmark shootout?
