> sounds like cross platform AOT compiled C# not being mature and performant was a big reason

I don't think it was the performance. C# is usually on par or faster than Go.

Could be the lack of maturity but also that I believe Go produces smaller binaries which makes a lot of sense for a CLI.

I never heard C# being fasted than Go, except on certain batched jobs and even there Go can be better.

For example, look at the Techempower benchmarks.

I benchmarked HTML rendering and Dotnet was 2-3x faster than Go using either Templ or html/template.

Etc.

The c# benchmarks where they didn't use the framework to do any of the actual templating?

those hardcoded byte arrays are how everyone does templating everywhere right?

or are you talking about after they changed back their "platform" test to not do that and is substantially slower than go

This is sorely outdated. Although for anyone with an axe to grind dustin’s articles are convenient enough.

The HTML benchmarks I did myself with Razor pages.
