The idea of having development and release compilation modes sounds appealing at first, though I'm a bit skeptical about how it would turn out. This would mean that, during development, you wouldn't have a full understanding of the performance characteristics of your program. Admittedly, that's not something you *always* care about, but when you do care you'll have to deal with slow compilation times.
I've found that in C++ certain memory safety bugs will only rear their ugly head after a certain compiler optimization level, meaning that these bugs can be missed during development. Go's memory safety would probably make this significantly less of a problem, but it still concerns me somewhat.
