Why is Go so slow (compared to Java)?
问题 As we could see from The Computer Language Benchmarks Game in 2010: Go is on average 10x slower than C Go is 3x slower than Java !?

EDIT: Most answers deny intrinsic slowness of Go languge, claiming the problem resides in immature compilers. Therefore I've made some own tests to calculate Fibonacci numbers: Iterative
