If you have gcc installed, you can build the Go compiler from source and that build process is really trivial. So you have the source code for the compiler and source code for the standard library and the source code for any package you might decide to use. Now obviously you'd need to build a pilot to test all of these those components. But other than the risk of that pilot not working as expected, where else is there a risk and how is that different to any other technology?
