I'm the author of https://bolinlang.com/ Go is a magnitude slower. I have some ideas why people think go is fast but there's really no excuse for a compiler to be slower than it. Even gcc is faster than go if you don't include too many headers. Try compiling sqlite if you don't believe. Last time I checked you could compile code in <100ms when using SDL3 headers (although not SDL2)
