Python has long valued ease of programming over runtime speed. This tradeoff is not the worst thing in the world when so many performance-intensive tasks can be accomplished in Python by tapping ...

A new programming language announced by MIT this week aims to remedy that problem, and so far it’s been found to deliver fourfold speed boosts on common algorithms.

Due to tighter coupling of the run-time and network libraries, fewer context switches are required on network operations. You can find a full list of changes in Go 1.1 on the language's official site.
