I find Go very pleasant for things where the computation will run for much longer than it takes to write the code. Especially when you need to leverage multiple cores in a non-uniform way, it is hard to beat.
On the flip side, I find R offers 10-100x faster prototyping and exploratory data analysis (I mean the human time-on-task) when you need plotting and/or clustering; and Julia offers 10-100x performance for some models that really benefit from inlining a computation kernel--Julia can even GPU-ize automatically. I'm also happy to import Go code into R when needed; https://github.com/glycerine/rmq https://github.com/glycerine/rbook https://github.com/glycerine/embedr On Tuesday, December 23, 2025 at 11:25:33 PM UTC-3 [email protected] wrote: > Thanks Jason the kind words, I hope it is of some help to future > like-minded scientists who enjoy Go. > > I'd also like to share that I find it more productive to do science in a > dull "systems language" like Go, compared to other more expressive, feature > rich language like Python, Julia, or Mathematica.
