I'm writing the _exactly_ same thing except SSE 4.2 is not mandatory. Called the project 'jitre'. Damn it! P.S. I suggest to add libpcre with and without JIT to the set of benchmarks. RE2 is not exactly the speediest library.

Non-trivial sexually reproducible organisms could generate unique keys from parents keys! My understanding is that current detection of unauthorized usage of copying enzymes is limited to "if fits or it doesn't fit".

It'd be thrilling to watch if evolution invents cryptographically signed DNA to prevent malicious viruses, plasmids and what not from using cell's reproduction machinery.

The point is to show that Go is superior to C (which obviously is true but not for the reasons mentioned in the article). Anything counts. Go code is obviously formatted with gofmt. C code is obviously not formatted with "indent -kr". Liber
