Thanks for that explanation. I"m always curious about why new drivers and libraries pop up for the same language. Sometimes it's because there's legitimately something different in the approach, sometimes it's because the author of the new driver didn't know the existing one was under development, etc. I know that the go-gremlin driver was a somewhat incomplete work as the author had to move on to other things, so perhaps that had something to do with the inefficiency.
btw, any thoughts on what it would take to do a Go Gremlin Language Variant ( http://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.2.1-SNAPSHOT/tutorials/gremlin-language-variants/ ) to pair with gremgo?
