I don't think it would be 2-3x slower.

Why thought? By all we know, it would be.

On most algorithmic benchmarks Go is 2-3 or more times slower than C/C++.

And parsing something like a large C++ codebase with a GC language like Go would result in tons of memory used (and slowness).

Heck, even Go compiling Go programs gets OOM'ed sometimes in Linux.
