>>For CPU intensive tasks, performance _is_ close to Ruby, while both Ruby and Elixir are far behind Go.

Yeah, but how many companies do you know of that perform heavy computations in such large scale that their choice of programming language has a noticeable effect on the result?

I mean, it might matter for tech giants like Google, who need to squeeze every bit of processing power out of their CPUs. For almost everyone else, it will be a non-issue.

It's just that when you say "performance on par with Go", people might imagine you could write a 3D engine in Elixir, which obviously isn't the case.
