Memory "probably contributed to it"? You don't even know why the old version was slow but you want to credit golang with making it fast? Hype much? The lack of critical thinking here on Hacker News is astounding.

Wrong and you know it. Go does not have generics so you have to use void* (interface{}) and casting. It ends up being about an order of magnitude uglier and more verbose. Which is why map, fold, etc don't exist in Go.

You go fanatics are incorrigible.
