1.7 is a significant improvement over previous versions, not only feature wise, but performance wise. In my current job, for a batch processing task, I coded two versions of the same program, one in Go and other in C++, both single threaded. I tried hard to use the same algorithm and data structures. For this specific situation, Go version consistently delivers the result 20% faster than the C++ version (VisualStudio 2015 64bit fully optimized). I am pretty sure the C++ version can be made faster, but I am really impressed by the performance I got for free using Go. Don't take my word for it. Go ahead, pick the hardest load you have and try it under 1.7RC1. Time has come to really put this RC to the test, my friends.
