Go compiler does incomparably less work than GCC. Arguably, GCC could have been faster, but this is somewhat apple to oranges comparison. The closer one possibly is comparing .NET Native AOT and GCC, where the compilation times and memory use start not to differ that much because of significant amount of work required to properly optimize and link all assemblies/compilation units.
Otherwise, I agree that LLVM and GCC are not an end all and be all, and have significant issues with compilation performance.
- pjmlp 3y agoNotice how you ignored the existence of .NET Native, Ada, Delphi. While I can pick other examples, I can't be bothered providing an exaustive list of every single language with compiler toolchains doing parallel compilation.
- neonsunset 3y ago.NET Native is dead and when Ada or Delphi were in their prime I did not even have a computer which is why they got no mention :)
