Well, worthwhile in terms of compile times, which makes sense knowing google’s codebase. Most people aren’t compiling massive dependency trees that can’t fit on any single computer when they push a commit. Anyway in C++ land massive compile times are just as much of a problem. Fast code is expensive. Go’s a lot of things, but being good at generating fast code ain’t one of them (looking holistically anyway). |

Indeed, because all bigtech can invest on is LLVM and C++.
The research on compilers and optimizations has not been getting the attention because of LLVM monoculture and the monstrosity that is C++.
