I thought you were talking about performance, in which case the relevant chart is:

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/which-programming-lang...

Which shows Go is well ahead of OCaml.

The "which language is best" chart you linked has rather arbitrary weighting.

Both pages show "performance" - they show 2 different summary statistics of "performance".

> The "which language is best" chart you linked has rather arbitrary weighting.

That chart has exactly the same "weighting" as the chart you say is "the relevant chart"!

> Which shows Go is well ahead of OCaml.

Which shows the time measurements for those programs with Go 6g and OCaml completely overlap

The time measurements are similar for both Go 6g and OCaml -
