Great! Would love to see this comparison. We also talked about a kind
of panel on using these new fangled languages like go and rust. Maybe
we can submit a joint talk for that?

I'll get in touch with Michael and Guido (LOC) about organizing the
shootout. We are going to be working on a benchmarking framework for
tegola in the next months, so would be great to collaborate on how to
make sure we are testing the right things etc.

Looking forward to seeing you in Boston!
