Go vs. v8 is a reasonable comparison. Node.js is probably the closest substitute for the way Go is most often used today (as API servers or backend app components for web applications).

I have no comment as to whether this "benchmarks game" stuff tells us anything meaningful.

... That's using Go 1.0.3.

Why are some benchmarks using Go 1.0.3 and some 1.1beta1? And why is the PCRE program broken? http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64/program.php?test...

As far as I understand it just needs a "go get github.com/glenn-brown/golang-pkg-pcre/src/pkg/pcre"

Thanks.

you prefer to do multi-thread programming in C? serious?
