I cannot wait for Go 1.7 to land in AppEngine! After AppEngine switched to 1.6 (from 1.4), the compilation speed have slowed down significantly. And this definitely reflects in our dev habits (more flipping over to HN while we wait for the recompilation to happen.) Hopefully, the 1.7 updates lands soon enough.
