Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust

GO promised to be very fast, but if you check the actual benchmarks:

https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=test&runid=8...

High-level C# (asp.net) is almost twice as fast as GO in the benchmark... Rust is also in the top 3.

So, why should I use GO instead of C#, if it is so blazing fast and requires a lot less lines of code to achieve the same? -> It makes absolutely sense to switch to C# or Rust.

> the JIT needs warmup just like java

You can use ReadyToRun[0] to pre-JIT portions of the code for faster startup. Full AOT compilation is in the works too[1] albeit it's still experimental.
