C vs Go vs pypy vs Python

I love to perform benchmarking tests and try to optimise algorithms or compare implementations in different languages. This time I compared Go, C, pypy and Python with a simple loop which sums all numbers between 1 and 10.000.000 To my big surprise, the winner wasn’t C but Go.
