Faster interpreters in Go: Catching up with C++

Viewed 30
The post discusses advanced techniques in optimizing Go interpreters, particularly focusing on the use of closures to enhance performance. Key points include compiling expressions and statements into a tree of closures, which is a method that has been successfully implemented in projects like gomacro. The concept of loop unrolling and the implementation of a 'nop' closure for improved execution flow are noted. It emphasizes the importance of compiled queries and prepared statements and their influence on user practices in Go. A comparison is made to similar implementations in Rust by Cloudflare, showcasing cross-language strategies in interpreter optimization.
