Thank you for the kind words!

You're right about our rabbit holes. Our initial "why" for this project was essentially: "Caffeine is written in Java with excellent performance. Go should be (and usually is) competitive with Java. Why is there no Go equivalent?"

With such a high bar we were disappointed in naive, idiomatic Go solutions, but we knew there had to be some way to close the gaps.

I look forward to continuing to do so. We have a few things on the roadmap such as adaptivity (see Ben Manes' work for more info) and managing our own memory.
