Yes, but Go is a higher level language than Rust. It feels unfair to compare the two. That's why I brought up C++ (as did the article).

- maccard 1y agoI disagree that it’s unfair to compare the two. The performance difference between go and rust is far less than the difference between go and python, it has a garbage collector sure but it’s an example of a language designed for fast compilation time that achieves an order of magnitude faster compile times than rust
- jplusequalt 1y agoI think you're missing the point of my comparison. Rust has a lot more going on than Go, so it feels unfair.
- sagarm 1y agoGo has a lot less going on than Rust partially because compile times were a priority.
- jplusequalt 1y agoRust has long compilation times because the borrow checker was a priority. They're very different languages.
- maccard 1y agoRust has long compilation times because it doesn't prioritise compilation times. What does [0] have to do with the borrow checker?

- kzrdude 1y agoThe borrow checker is a very small factor in rust compile time
- pjmlp 1y agoYou can bring in Ada, Delphi, D, Haskell, OCaml, C++ with modules if you prefer. If you want languages with similar complexity to Rust, and with fast tooling approaches available to them, instead of the one single compiler.
