I think the go team does deserve credit for making compilation speed a priority when other languages of the same generation have tended not to.

- dman 9y agoWhy are we forgetting the amount of money spent developing fast JITs for Javascript here?
- KirinDave 9y agoLots of languages have fantastic compile speed, they've just decided to have their compilers do a lot more work. You can argue that fast compilation IS a feature and that new language options should be evaluated, but it's unfair to say it's "not a priority" even for languages like Scala.
- erik_seaberg 9y ago> they've just decided to have their compilers do a lot more work This. Compiling C++ would be a lot faster if you made the developer manually expand all the templates into tedious boilerplate before starting the compiler, but it's not a good tradeoff to make.
- pjmlp 9y agoSure, but lets not pretend that is something they came up with, unique to Go toolchain.
