While I'm not convinced this is "python" vs "go" (see other comments) what everyone seems to miss is that this is 9 lines vs 23, as well. Ok, so in this test, the performance/line is off by a factor of five (2 times the lines, ten times the performance) -- but it looks to me like the performance could be made up by sticking something like Varnish in front -- so there's really no "real world" performance difference, just more complex code.

I may be wrong, but that's all I see from this. (Assuming architecture >> micro benchmarks)
