Making your compiler fast is easy when it doesn't do any work. The Go one seems to be even faster than Javac.

Point well taken, golang feels painful to use compared to java due to its weak type system (to be fair, I have NOT used it since generics were added, so I don't know if that helped a lot -- that was always my main pain point, it made collections kinda useless -- it's not a coincidence that java added generics (1.5) soon after it added collections (1.2))

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is a situation where the extra power of Rust's type system could not possibly be made more performant and it's just a natural tradeoff, or whether it's a thing where it's a matter of time before Rust (or some competitor) catches up and we can have it all
