A comment on Generics in Go with Ian Lance Taylor (2019). Parent comment
Very true, but the article didn't mention a 100x slower compiler, they mentioned 100% (2x) slower one.
Technically that's a quantitative difference of degree, but it's so big as to be talking about qualitatively different developer experiences.
Even at 2x, you can only 2x compile times so many times until things get unmanageable!
