Frankly, I think that Go compiler speed is a huge feature, and this trade-off seems quite reasonable to me. It’s not that the bug will be undetected, it’s that it will be detected at the point of use rather than the declaration. But still at compile time. So what? It’s going to be pretty obvious what’s wrong.
