I like the thick stdlib in go, but it feels a lot slower even than java. The thin stdlib and giant dependency trees is my primary complaint with rust. I like most of the syntax, but async is not my threading style, I mostly use fine grained threads like rayon provides. I'm currently more excited about julia though. Same dependency hell, but super fast and flexible, and the code looks good.
That is what I usually do. And you can supposedly precompile everything if you just want to deploy a service so restarts are short. I have not done that though.
