I don't think it is. The top comment in that thread indicates why.

In general for most long lived workloads, I would expect Go to be approximately 15-25% slower than an equivalent C/C++/Rust program because of the CPU overhead of the Go GC. The Go team have done a lot of great work to optimize pause times and memory consumption though.
