Updated Comparison of C# and Go Performance
Previous Efforts A couple weeks ago I wrote a post that examined performance of the C# and Go programming languages when parsing large XML documents. Why compare C# and Go? Because the goals of the languages are similar: to provide programmers with a statically typed, compiled syntax paired with a runtime that enforces memory safety and automatic garbage collection (reclaiming memory from unreferenced objects).
