There's gccgo, and it certainly has a reputation for beating gc/6g in numeric computation, but IIRC it didn't have a huge edge overall.

- NateDad 12y agoGccgo misses out on some key optimizations, like escape analysis IIRC, and therefore on real world tests usually is not as fast as gc. Also, since gc is the de facto standard, it has a LOT more real world testing. Gccgo has a few bugs (I forget exactly, something about embedding an interface or something just causes a panic - avoidable, but frustrating).
