Thus, it should be approximately as fast as the C++ code (or
even faster, because Hotspot knows more about the runtime
environment than the C++ compiler does).
I discovered the Jet optimiser produces better code that hand tuned
assembler. Seehttp://mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html

Yup. Computers can now routinely beat the best humans at chess and
code-optimization, and they're even getting somewhere with Go now.

I'm pretty sure the last part was a joke - but I don't get it. (And somehow I don't think searching google for "go" is going to help)

Somebody in another newsgroup made the same mistake about another common word used as a program name, and refused to search for it. Actually, you find the relevant links very early among the Google search results:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(board_game)

And I don't think there was a joke in the reference.
