I meant speed-critical by that, sorry if that was unclear. I see opinions like "1/3 the speed of C" bandied around, not bad but means a big model run takes three days rather than one.

"1/3 the speed of C"

Of course C can be is 1/3 of the speed of C, if the C is written by two different people. An average Go programmer might very well produce faster code than an average C programmer, if Go has better tools for doing normal things fast in an easy and obvious way

Are weapon targeting systems and battleships speed critical enough?
