I disagree that it’s unfair to compare the two. The performance difference between go and rust is far less than the difference between go and python, it has a garbage collector sure but it’s an example of a language designed for fast compilation time that achieves an order of magnitude faster compile times than rust
I think you're missing the point of my comparison. Rust has a lot more going on than Go, so it feels unfair.
Go has a lot less going on than Rust partially because compile times were a priority.
Rust has long compilation times because the borrow checker was a priority.
They're very different languages.
