The outlier in their thesis is Go, which is not actually a particularly fast language per se. Its static linking results in very fast *startup* times for processes, and its coroutine runtime is extremely lightweight and well optimized, but when you benchmark like-for-like it is middle of the road at best, falling well behind the other options in that "fast" list.
