How true?

I don't know about Go but ... very generally speaking yeah.

But personally I prefer those kinds of statements to be quantified as far as 'for X'.

I find a lot of the 'it's faster' discussion to quickly get disconnected from a lot of things.

Assembly is still faster!

Assuming you can write awesome and optimized code in it.

But you can also write the shittiest thing possible with 5 nested loops in .NET and it wont even match JavaScript without V8.

Long story short, It's the developer that matters

I agree with @N00bPancakes, most likely not faster than Go, but the rest it is faster than.

Sort of true. (Well written) .net core is seriously fast, definitely faster than the olde python, nodejs etc and comparable with go etc while being a much nicer framework for enterprise work imo.

Also in a lot of big applications the bottleneck isn't just the language's raw efficiency. .net core as a framework is overall pretty well optimized.

Depends

@AtuM your statement is wrong. Everything should be assumed false unless proven true.

Compared to nodejs, the actual official is that .net 6 is 10 times faster.

I'm sure this article has up to date information

Yes. It is faster. But is it better?
1. Your fastest language is only as fast as your database of choice is. Your assembly program will be as slow as Python if your database is slow.
2. You can write the same logic 3 times as easy and fast with PHP, Python, JS than with C#. Even with types introduced. They are THAT easier to use.
3. JSON is de-facto standard today, C# and other strongly typed languages do NOT have native support for it. Working with JSON is a huge pain.

https://techempower.com/benchmarks/ These are languages and frameworks ranked by performance. But there's a caveat, Rails (the last place entry) has far better documentation, support, and way more job opportunities than the first place entries. Performance is a feature, but doubling your server budget is far cheaper than doubling your engineering budget.
