I wish the Clojure compiler was half as fast as Go's :(
I'm not much of a fan of using Go for anything 'big', but I have taken to using it in places where I would have previously used Python (tiny/simple services, housekeeping/utility scripts fired by cron, etc.)
I'd love to use Go at work (amongst many other things), but my employer already gives me a hard time for writing small utilities in Python rather than Java (I refuse to wait for a JVM to spin up just to convert a single file from csv to xml. I simply will not do it, and apparently my employer doesn't consider it worth firing me over).
