I disagree with "channels are slow". They may be faster than you think. Defers needn't add as much overhead as they do today; this can be fixed. I think it really depends on your definition of "performance-critical". I agree Go isn't suitable for all performance-critical tasks, but it covers a vast swathe of them quite comfortably.

> this can be fixed. I believe this and am counting on it. Go2.0 and beyond should be a solid choice. You should also note that it is entirely understood that more mature tech e.g. JVM have had the benefit of multibillion Dollar investment by SUN, IBM, Oracle, etc. I feel it is regrettable that (imo valid and reasonable) criticism of what is currently not up to par with this tech always seemingly requires a disclaimer that "I love Go". I have been using this language since the day it was released. I know it fairly well. I like it. But excessive hype and sensitivity around it is frankly somewhat irritating. peace out and happy v. day Go <3
