Nim
Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

3 years of fulltime Rust game development, and why we're leaving Rust behind
The overhead for Go in benchmarks is insane in contrast to other languages - https://github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead Are there reasons why Go does not copy what Julia does?
- Can Fortran survive another 15 years?

When dealing with C, when is Go slow?
If you're calling back and forth between C and Go in a performance critical way. It's one of the slowest languages for wrapping C that there is. I've personally hit this bottleneck in numerous projects, wrapping things like libutp and sqlite. See also https://github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead

Understanding N and 1 queries problem
Piling on about overhead (and SQLite), many high-level languages take some hit for using an FFI. So you're still incentivized to avoid tons of SQLite calls.

Are there plans to improve concurrency in Rust?
Go doesn't even have native thread stacks. When call any FFI function Go has to switch over to an on-demand stack and coordinate the goroutine and the runtime to avoid preemption and starvation. This is part of why Go's calling overhead is over 30x slower than C/C++/Rust (source). It's understandbly become Go community culture to act like FFI is just not even an option and reinvent everything in Go, but that reinvented Go suffers from these other problems plus many more (such as optimizing far worse than GCC or LLVM).

Comparing the C FFI overhead on various languages
Some of the results look outdated. The Dart results look bad (25x slower than C), but looking at the code (https://github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead/tree/master/dart) it appears to be five years old. Dart has a new FFI as of Dart 2.5 (2019): https://medium.com/dartlang/announcing-dart-2-5-super-charge... I'm curious how the new FFI would fare in these benchmarks.

Would docker be faster if it were written in rust?
In that case, the libcontainer library would be faster if written in most other languages seeing as Go has unfortunate C-calling performance. In this FFI benchmark Rust is on par with C with 1193ms (total benchmarking time), while Go took 37975ms doing the same.
