It is also slower than most alternatives, and is in the same (real) memory ballpark as Java.

On the other hand, it does compile fast.



Keep in mind that the current Go compilers are not mature yet, and don't do any significant optimizations. The GC is pretty primitive too.


I keep that in mind. As well as it getting slower as it starts doing useful work and optimizations, thus losing its "fast compilation" edge (which is just about its only advantage right now)
