You said "Go can't compete on performance with C". It sounds like you are now moving the goalposts.

  I also said that I had yet to encounter a task where Go competed with C, which is completely consistent with "Go can't compete on performance with C". I also went on to point out that since Go can't even compete with C it then clearly cannot match or beat it either :)

    Perhaps if you had added a qualifier like "... for the tasks I encounter" in your original message then you would have been more accurate. There are plenty of tasks that other people do where Go is competitive with C. You were making a generalisation that is not true in general.

      That should be covered by the "I" in "I have yet to encounter..."
