Fast compilation also means that Go can conceivably become an attractive alternative to interpreted languages, because the compilation stage can be made as unobtrusive as, say, Python's byte-compilation stage (except that the Go compiler is generating native code). I believe that OCaml already offers a way to run code via such on-the-fly compilation, but I doubt that OCaml's compilers are as fast as Go's. kynn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
