My "Go vs D vs C vs Erlang" MQTT shootout was based on a

the same performance. I was right.
Yes, Go is unlikely to have any throughput advantages compared to
a systems level programming language.
Go's advantages:
- a more mature compiler
- robust runtime features
- lower latency GC
- infrastructure support
- simple syntactical constructs
I would consider Go-routines a convenience feature.
If C++17 does stackless coroutines right then it probably will
surpass both Go and D in terms of memory locality, initialization
performance and memory usage; and therefore throughput as well.
