There seem to be a lot of developers who genuinely believe that
Go increases their productivity, for what it's worth. This thread
is quite interesting:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/29RsB_nfTYA;
a developer there finds the productivity benefits from using Go
sufficient to justify going through the process of converting
objdump'd c assembly into opcodes written in Plan 9 assembly
syntax just to use AVX2 instructions (which the Plan 9 assembler
used by Go doesn't support). Not to mention that they're also
directly writing assembly themselves, due to the Go compiler's
lack of intrinsics.
