Yet. With the rewrite of the compiler it is safe to assume that there will be many optimizations to come.
- masklinn 12y agoSadly no: one of the primary (if not the primary) goal of Go's developers is compilation speed, and with Go being intrinsically slower than C the post-rewrite available budget for possible optimisations (whatever the acceptance threshold they define) will be lower rather than higher.
