Goose: 1.16x faster than C++ and 1.12x than safe Rust, while memory safe
Goose, a new programming language, claims performance gains of roughly 16 % over C++ and 12 % over safe Rust while offering memory‑safety guarantees. The language’s design emphasizes low‑level control without sacrificing safety features, positioning it as a potential alternative for systems development. The benchmarks were shared on Hacker News, prompting discussion among developers about its practical advantages.
