I do not want to blame Go, since I'm programming in Go from quite a long time and I love it, but to claim a programming language which is written in Go fast is exaggerated and an outrageous lie. Go could not match the speed of C/C++ so how can be this programming language declared as fast??

This language is compiled, not interpreted. Because of this, runtime performance is not limited by Go’s performance characteristics.

This language can claim to be very close to C/C++ in terms of runtime performance characteristics because it compiles to C.

It is not written in Go. Go was only used to bootstrap the first compiler. Newer compiler versions are written in V itself.

Ok I see now, but still we do not have any evidence about the source code.
