Not too long ago I expressed support for C as a way to obtain very fast programs; the context is I work around people who are interested in stat mech, MCMC, simulations of complex systems, etc. A more experienced developer replied that in fact Go has comparable speed to C but does not lead to the same memory management challenges, thus should usually be preferred. It appears that most interest in C these days is from people who need to work with Arduinos. So, while we're on the (off-)topic of comparing the suckiness of various languages, what do people here think about Go? Kind regards, Tim
