Go's pretty damn fast now. It's fast enough that we've got physicists writing simulations in it. It's fast enough that a lot of the people I know (systems and HPC guys) just write in Go unless they have to write in anything else. I've personally used it to write cluster management tools, a cpu-intensive simulation, a modem emulator, and a decent handful of servers.
If nothing else, it's so easy to do concurrency that I end up hiding a lot of slowness.
- icebraining 14y agoIs it pure Go, or are they offloading the more demanding computations to external libraries written in other languages, like people tend to do with Python?
- azth 14y ago> It's fast enough that we've got physicists writing simulations in it. Cool, source?
- jff 14y agoSadly not available yet, sorry. It's a hassle to get new projects open-sourced, and given that HPC codes traditionally require that you have a million-dollar supercomputer anyway...
- azth 14y agoI meant the source of what you mentioned, not the source code :) Like are there any articles or papers?
