You'd really be OK with gcc being 2-3x slower?
As much as I love high-level programming, many of the most interesting and important problems are ones where a "small" constant factor is the difference between great and mediocre.
- enneff 14y agoI don't think it would be 2-3x slower.
- coldtea 14y agoWhy thought? By all we know, it would be. On most algorithmic benchmarks Go is 2-3 or more times slower than C/C++. And parsing something like a large C++ codebase with a GC language like Go would result in tons of memory used (and slowness). Heck, even Go compiling Go programs gets OOM'ed sometimes in Linux.
