After spending years doing those FFI dances in both directions, I've reached the conclusion that the only good boundary with Go is a network boundary.

while a typical rant, these points stick out:
"Go is a pretty good async runtime, with opinionated defaults, a state-of-the-art garbage collector with two knobs, and tooling that would make C developers jealous, if they bothered looking outside their bubble."
"Making Go play nice with another language (any other language) is really hard. [...] After spending years doing those FFI dances in both directions, I've reached the conclusion that the only good boundary with Go is a network boundary. "

"Zero values have meaning" is naive, and clearly untrue when you consider the inputs of, like... almost everything. There's so many situations when values need to be "one of these known options, and nothing else", and that's where sum types come in (in Rust, that's enums).

In fact, as developers get more and more senior, they tend to ignore more and more problems, because they've gotten so used to it. That's the way it's always been done, and they've learned to live with them, so they've stopped questioning it any more.

Junior developers however, get to look at everything again with a fresh pair of eyes: they haven't learned to ignore all the quirks yet, so it feels uncomfortable to them, and they tend to question it (if they're made to feel safe enough to voice their concerns).

RT : None of what describes (which matches my experience) really sounds much like compiler speed to me.

It sounds like years of life lost to preventable errors.
