I just can't agree with this. It's true that one piece, the compiling, is less painful. But the entire rest of the system from developing to testing to routing out implementation bugs is way, way more painful

It's ridiculously more painful for a single one off by a single dev for a single tool but an actual ecosystem of pure go reimplementations has popped up where that load can become collectively shared over time and ultimately using native implementations doesn't carry that burden to the end developer. It has to start somewhere though.
