This isn't really true for non-trivial code bases. And even if it is, it's not a big difference in practice, especially with incremental compilation where I find it actually much quicker to change a couple of files and re-run unit tests compared to golang which has to spit out a multi-dozen MB binary each time, taking 5-6+ seconds.

Java is getting AOT compilation which will do the same.

Java is getting those as well: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpressler/loom/loom/sol1_part1.h...
