I was very curious about the claim that Go approached C speeds. I've not seen those claims before and the latencies cited certainly don't back that up.
C inter-op speed would be a big part of any such claims as any systems language would need to support that.
Well, the latency referred to is not factor of the Go code. It's more of a factor of our nginx front end which are handling a few million concurrent connections. The time spent doing computation is being measured in nanoseconds.
