Funny how all the languages you mentioned compile slower than go (C maybe faster).

Enforcing no exceptions is a pretty big win for me.

You mean renaming exceptions to panics? Or reinventing them through wrapping? (which, admittedly, does have a benefit of possibly clearer stack trace)

Go didn't get rid of exceptions, it just made them more awkward.

golang has exceptions (panics).

I've worked on large golang projects. Linking takes a very long amount of time. Languages like Java or C# have a much faster compile then run unit test cycle. Even full compilation, it's hard to prove that golang is faster in any significant manner, and could very well be slower.
