→Conclusion
* JIT compiled to native code thanks to LLVM, faster than interpreted languages like Python, slower than compile-ahead-of-time languages like C++
* Although slower than C++, implements simpler syntax (looks similar to Python)
* The default compiler takes care of some optimization tasks for you. Don't need to worry about locality of reference (loop interchange) or vectorization
* Multi-threading is still experimental, and it's recommended to use distributed processing or coroutines (green threads) for parallelism
