But that would be unfair to the very design choice of omitting metaprogramming while exposing the go/ast library to users to foster code generation.
For an apples-to-apples comparison of compilation speed, you should either include the time it takes go generate to run, and the IDE to re-index all the crap it emits, or you should count the number of lines of code in the largest intermediate representation that C++ or Rust has.
