My guess is that compilation time could be increased, which would let Go in the same boat as Rust or C++. I suspect every nice or must-have feature you add to a language, you must take the choice between deal with it in runtime or compilation time. Not adding features, no choice to take.

It shouldn't affect compile times though. golang compile times arealready in a similar ballpark to Java (if not slower) for large codebases.
