Re:New SSA Back End for the Go Compiler by andrewchambers on Tuesday February 24, 2015 @04:44PM (#9103738)
Llvm takes longer to clone in git than downloading and building the entire go tool chain from scratch. A full build with llvm plus clang takes 30 minutes or so on my pc. A full go build takes 10 seconds.

The go team is small and fast. Taking on that kind of baggage is unnecessary.
