The longevity of Go is also a thing. I have not encountered a single Go project that used to compile but now doesn't because it hadn't been touched.

Go is in many ways leap years ahead of most AOT languages I've used in anger. Yes, sometimes you miss XYZ, but seldom is that an issue outside of personal preferences.

What you do get though is amazing tooling and little-to-no downtime. Builds basically don't take any time, tests run past, pipelines are quick.

go test ./... finishes faster than you can print Determining projects to restore... to the screen. It's a very liberating experience that is hard to go back from.
