Ok, I will search for examples, and update the post accordingly. I definitively heared it in talks about c++. And listing big projects that use templates does not beat the argument. Additionally I've heard from Unreal Engine 4 developers, that changing the source code has very long builds, even long incremental builds maybe because of templates, but that not a prove and not my own experience. > Go's compile times are nothing special at all.

Ok I did not do the benchmark, but correct would be that Go advertises with fast compilation speed. But you are right, in my experience it was not too fast. In my code is was always slower than advertised :/. But I can't exclude that I did something wrong that cause this increased compilation speed, because I never programmed in pure Go, I always had wrappers.
