Why is that a problem for you? With golint / gocode I never have any need for extremely fast compilation. What's your setup like that you're rebuilding so often?
Personally, my biggest beef would be that the go developers specifically stood against generics on account of compiler complexity => slow compiling. It seems they accepted this sacrifice for some other unimportant feature* *edit: Looks as though the feature they sacrificed performance for was writing Go in Go.
Compiling is still sub-2000ms, for me at least. Ridiculously fast compared to other languages. I can see why it would be annoying if compiling was an essential part of your workflow... But I think that would be a mistake.
