This might become a nice benchmark for the Go language; the same code base implemented in C and Go! It may not be fine-tuned for optimisation, neither in C nor in Go, but may still give a good ball-park estimate.

I'm disappointed that they are aiming for an automatic translation instead - some people are going to ask themselves whether Go actually isn't that much fun to program in. An independent reimplementation is better for correctness too, they can compare outputs and find bugs in both implementations instead of porting over old bugs and adding new bugs where the translation goes wrong.
