Realistically, compilation speed is something every major language is going to try to improve upon to improve adoption.

I haven't looked at the internals of the go compiler, but it seems a bit simplistic perhaps in the interest of improving speed. For example, it stops outputting errors after a point when it can clearly go further after having demonstrated that it's parser can recover. The error messages have lots of room for improvement, particularly compared to Rust.
