Re: [Boston.pm] GO vs Perl runtime.

From what I can see GO is purely compiled down to object code and linked into static binaries. IMHO Perl, as an interpreted language, is doing *super* to be *only* twice the runtime of Go! Maybe others have a better handle on this. On March 8, 2014 3:26:31 PM EST, Gyepi SAM

This is true. On the other hand JVM languages are also faster than Perl and on some benchmarks able to beat object object code. -- David On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 12:42 PM, ja...@nova-sw.com wrote: From what I can see GO is purely compiled down to object code and linked into static binaries.

I've never seen GO before this thread, but after a glance at the GO web site, I suspect the difference may have more to do with concurrency than compiling. Perl is written in C and natively pretty good at file and string manipulation. My gut says a 2x win for this problem just by using GO
