You won't write a lot of useful code but what you do write might execute fast. Emphasis on "might" since, in my experience, many people who care about micro benchmarks over all other considerations seldom understand related considerations such as CPU branch prediction costs and CPU TLB and cache invalidation. Not to mention considerations that are almost always more important such as the time required to write the code, it's correctness, and maintainability. Which are almost always orders of magnitude more important than whether you have managed to shave every microsecond from its run time. -- Kurtis Rader Caretaker of the exceptional canines Junior and Hank -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
