This is all well and good that we developers have opinions on whether Go compiles faster than Rust or whatever, but the real question is: which is faster for your users?

...and that sounds nice to me as well, but if I never get far enough to give it to my users then what good is fast binaries? (implying that I quit, not that Rust can't deliver). The holy grail would be to have both. Go is generally 'fast enough', but I wish the language was a bit more expressive.
