> Not much faster than C# or Java in practice

Go compile times are pretty inarguably faster than these in practice, yes.



Seems like you haven't worked with actual large scale golang code bases then.


I have. Both C# and Go 500k+ LOC codebases.

Compilation time between them is a magnitude apart it's not even arguable.


Well, I have. 300k LOC which was ported over from Java to reduce complexity. Go is mind blowingly fast in compilation times compared to Java. Arguing on it is a waste of time tbh
